Excerpt from The Anti-Gravity Handbook
By D. Hatcher Childress Many researchers
into the UFO enigma tend to overlook a very important fact. While
it assumed that most flying saucers are of alien, or perhaps Governmental
Military origin, another possible origin of UFOs is ancient India and Atlantis.
What we know about ancient Indian flying vehicles
comes from ancient Indian sources; written texts that have come down to
us through the centuries.
There is no doubt that most of these texts are
authentic; many are the well-known ancient Indian Epics themselves, and
there are literally hundreds of them. Most of them have not even been
translated into English yet from the old sanskrit.
The Indian Emperor Ashoka started a "Secret Society
of the Nine Unknown Men": great Indian scientists who were supposed to catalogue
the many sciences. Ashoka kept their work secret because he was afraid
that the advanced science catalogued by these men, culled from ancient
Indian sources, would be used for the evil purpose of war, which Ashoka
was strongly against, having been converted to Buddhism after defeating
a rival army in a bloody battle.
The "Nine Unknown Men" wrote a total of nine
books, presumably one each. Book number was "The Secrets of Gravitation!"
This book, known to historians, but not actually seen by them dealt chiefly
with "gravity control."
It is presumably still around somewhere, kept
in a secret library in India, Tibet or elsewhere (perhaps even in North
America somewhere). One can certainly understand Ashoka's reasoning
for wanting to keep such knowledge a secret, assuming it exists. if
the Nazis had such weapons at their disposal during World War Ii.
Ashoka was also aware devastating wars using such advanced vehicles and
other 'futuristic weapons' that had destroyed the ancient Indian "Rama
Empire" several thousand years before.
Only a few years ago, the Chinese discovered
some sanskrit documents in Lhasa, Tibet and sent them to the University of
Chandrigarh to be translated. Dr. Ruth Reyna of the University said
recently that the documents contain directions for building interstellar
spaceships!
Their method of propulsion, she said, was "anti-gravitational"
and was based upon a system analogous to that of "laghima," the unknown
power of the ego existing in man's physiological makeup, "a centrifugal
force strong enough to counteract all gravitational pull." According to
Hindu Yogis, it is this "laghima" which enables a person to levitate.
Dr. Reyna said that on board these machines,
which were called "Astras" by the text, the ancient Indians could have
sent a detachment of men onto any planet, according to the document, which
is thought to be thousands of years old.
The manuscripts were also said to reveal the
secret of "antima"; "the cap of invisibility"
and "garima"; "how to become as heavy as a
mountain of lead."
Naturally, Indian scientists did not take the
texts very seriously, but then became more positive about the value of
them when the Chinese announced that they were including certain parts of
the data for study in their space program!
This was one of the first instances of a government
admitting to be researching anti-gravity.
The manuscripts did not say definitely that interplanetary
travel was ever made but did mention, of all things, a planned trip to the
Moon, though it is not clear whether this trip was actually carried out.
However, one of the great Indian epics, the Ramayana, does have a highly
detailed story in it of a trip to the moon in a Vimana (or "Astra"), and
in fact details a battle on the moon with an "Asvin" (or Atlantean" airship.
This is but a small bit of recent evidence of
anti-gravity and aerospace technology used by Indians. To really understand
the technology, we must go much further back in time.
The so-called "Rama Empire" of Northern India
and Pakistan developed at least fifteen thousand years ago on the Indian
sub-continent and was a nation of many large, sophisticated cities, many
of which are still to be found in the deserts of Pakistan, northern, and
western India.
Rama existed, apparently, parallel to the Atlantean
civilization in the mid-Atlantic Ocean, and was ruled by "enlightened
Priest-Kings" who governed the cities, The seven greatest capital cities
of Rama were known in classical Hindu texts as "The Seven Rishi Cities."
According to ancient Indian texts, the people
had flying machines, which were called "Vimanas."
The ancient Indian epic describes a Vimana
as a double-deck, circular aircraft with portholes and a dome, much as
we would imagine a flying saucer.
It flew with the "speed of the wind" and gave
forth a "melodious sound." There were at least four different types of
Vimanas; some saucer shaped others like long cylinders ("cigar shaped airships").
The ancient Indian texts on Vimanas are so numerous,
it would take volumes to relate what they had to say. The ancient
Indians, who manufactured these ships themselves, wrote entire flight manuals
on the control of the various types of Vimanas, many of which are still in
existence, and some have even been translated into English.
The Samara Sutradhara is a scientific treatise
dealing with every possible angle of air travel in a Vimana. There
are 230 stanzas dealing with the construction, take-off, cruising for thousand
of miles, normal and forced landings, and even possible collisions with
birds.
In 1875, the Vaimanika Sastra, a fourth century
B.C. text written by Bharadvajy the Wise, using even older texts
as his source, was rediscovered in a temple in India.
It dealt with the operation of Vimanas and included
information on the steering, precautions for long flights, protection of
the airships from storms and lightening and how to switch the drive to "solar
energy" from a free energy source which sounds like "anti-gravity."
The Vaimanika Sastra (or Vymaanika-Shaastra)
has eight chapters with diagrams, describing three types of aircraft, including
apparatuses that could neither catch on fire nor break.
It also mentions 31 essential parts of these
vehicles and 16 materials from which they are constructed, which absorb light
and heat; for which reason they were considered suitable for the construction
of Vimanas.
This document has been translated into English
and is available by writing the publisher:
VYMAANIDASHAASTRA AERONAUTICS by Maharishi
Bharadwaaja, translated into English and edited, printed and published
by Mr. G. R. Josyer, Mysore, India, 1979 (sorry, no street
address). Mr.
Josyer is the director of the International
Academy of Sanskrit Investigation located in Mysore.
There seems to be no doubt that Vimanas were
powered by some sort of "anti-gravity."
Vimanas took off vertically, and were capable
of hovering in the sky, like a modern helicopter or dirigible. Bharadvajy
the Wise refers to no less than 70 authorities and 10 experts of air travel
in antiquity. These sources are now lost.
Vimanas were kept in a Vimana Griha, a kind of
hanger, and were sometimes said to be propelled by a yellowish-white liquid,
and sometimes by some sort of mercury compound, though writers seem confused
in this matter. It is most likely that the later writers on Vimanas,
wrote as observers and from earlier texts, and were understandably confused
on the princible of their propulsion.
The "yellowishwhite liquid" sounds suspiciously
like gasoline, and perhaps Vimanas had a number of different propulsion
sources, including combustion engines and even "pulse-jet"
engines.
It is interesting to note, that the Nazis developed
the first practical pulse-jet engines for their V-8 rocket "buzz bombs."
Hitler and the Nazi staff were exceptionally interested in ancient India
and Tibet and sent expeditions to both these places yearly, starting in
the 30's, in order to gather esoteric evidence that they did so, and perhaps
it was from these people that the Nazis gained some of their scientific information!
According to the Dronaparva, part of the Mahabarata,
and the Ramayana, one Vimana described was shaped like a sphere and born
along at great speed on a mighty wind generated by mercury. It moved
like a UFO, going up, down, backwards and forwards as the pilot desired.
In another Indian source, the Samar, Vimanas
were "iron machines, well-knit and smooth, with a charge of mercury that
shot out of the back in the form of a roaring flame."
Another work called the Samaranganasutradhara
describes how the vehicles were constructed. It is possible that
mercury did have something to do with the propulsion, or more possibly,
with the guidance system.
Curiously, Soviet scientists have discovered
what they call "age-old instruments used in navigating cosmic vehicles" in
caves in Turkestan and the Gobi Desert. The "devices" are hemispherical
objects of glass or porcelain, ending in a cone with a drop of mercury inside.
It is evident that ancient Indians flew around
in these vehicles, all over Asia, to Atlantis presumably; and even, apparently,
to South America.
Writing found at Mohenjodaro in Pakistan (presumed
to be one of the "Seven Rishi Cities of the Rama Empire") and still un-deciphered,
has also been found in one other place in the world: Easter Island!
Writing on Easter Island, called Rongo-Rongo writing, is also un-deciphered,
and is uncannily similar to the Mohenjodaro script.
Was Easter Island an air base for the Rama Empire's
Vimana route? (At the Mohenjo-Daro Vimana-drome, as the passenger
walks down the concourse, he hears the sweet, melodic sound of the announcer
over the loudspeaker, "Rama Airways flight number seven for Bali, Easter
Island, Nazca, and Atlantis is now ready for boarding.
Passengers please proceed to gate number..")
in Tibet, no small distance, and speaks of the "fiery chariot" thusly: "Bhima
flew along in his car, resplendent as the sun and loud as thunder...
The flying chariot shone like a flame in the night sky of summer ...
it swept by like a comet... It was as if two suns were shining.
Then the chariot rose up and all the heaven brightened."
In the Mahavira of Bhavabhuti, a Jain text of
the eighth century culled from older texts and traditions, we read: "An
aerial chariot, the Pushpaka, conveys many people to the capital of Ayodhya.
The sky is full of stupendous flying-machines,
dark as night, but picked out by lights with a yellowish glare-"
The Vedas, ancient Hindu poems, thought to be
the oldest of all the Indian texts, describe Vimanas of various shapes and
sizes: the "ahnihotra-vimana" with two engines, the "elephant-vimana" with
more engines, and other types named after the kingfisher, ibis and other
animals.
Unfortunately, Vimanas, like most scientific
discoveries, were ultimately used for war.
Atlanteans used their flying machines, 'Vailixi'.
a similar type of aircraft, to literally try and subjugate the world,
it would seem, if Indian texts are to be believed.
The Atlanteans, known as "Asvins" in the Indian
writings, were apparently even more advanced technologically than the
Indians, and certainly of a more war-like temperament. Although
no ancient texts on Atlantean Vailixi are known to exist, some information
has come down through esoteric, "occult" sources, which describe their flying
machines.
Similar, if not identical to Vimanas, Vailixi
were generally "cigar shaped" and had the capability of maneuvering underwater
as well as in the atmosphere or even outer space.
Other vehicles, like Vimanas, were saucer shaped,
and could apparently also be submerged.
According to Eklal Kueshana, author of "The Ultimate
Frontier," in an article he wrote in
1966, Vailixi were first developed in Atlantis
20,000 years ago, and the most common ones are "saucer shaped of generally
trapezoidal cross-section with three hemispherical engine pods on the underside."
"They use a mechanical antigravity device driven by engines developing
approximately 80,000 horse power."
The Ramayana, Mahabarata and other texts speak
of the hideous war that took place, some ten or twelve thousand years
ago between Atlantis and Rama using weapons of destruction that could
not be imagined by readers until the second half of this century.
The ancient Mahabharata, one of the sources on
Vimanas, goes on to tell the awesome destructiveness of the war: "...(the
weapon was) a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and flame As bright as the thousand suns
rose in all its splendor... An iron thunderbolt, A gigantic messenger
of death, Which reduced to ashes The entire race of the Vrishnis And the
Andhakas.
. . . the corpses were so burned
As to be unrecognizable.
The hair and nails fell out; Pottery broke without
apparent cause, And the birds turned white.
... After a few hours All foodstuffs were
infected...
... to escape from this fire The soldiers
threw themselves in streams To wash themselves and their equipment..."
It would seem that the Mahabharata is describing
an atomic war! References like this one are not isolated; but battles,
using a fantastic array of weapons and aerial vehicles are common in all
the epic Indian books.
One even describes a Vimana-Vailix battle on
the Moon! The above section very accurately describes what an atomic
explosion would look like and the effects of the radioactivity on the population.
Jumping into water is the only respite.
When the Rishi City of Mohenjodaro was excavated
by archeologists in the last century, they found skeletons just lying
in the streets, some of them holding hands, as if some great doom had suddenly
overtaken them.
These skeletons are among the most radioactive
ever found, on a par with those found at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Ancient cities whose brick and stone walls have
literaly been vitrified, that is-fused together, can be found in India,
Ireland, Scotland, France, Turkey and other places.
There is no logical explanation for the vitrification
of stone forts and cities, except from an atomic blast.
Furthermore, at Mohenjo-Daro, a well planned
city laid on a grid, with a plumbing system superior to those used in Pakistan
and India today, the streets were littered with "black lumps of glass."
These globs of glass were discovered to be clay
pots that had melted under intense heat!
With the cataclysmic sinking of Atlantis and
the wiping out of Rama with atomic weapons, the world collapsed into a "Stone
Age" of sorts, and modern history picks up a few thousand years later.
Yet, it would seem that not all the Vimanas and Vailixi of Rama and Atlantis
were gone.
Built to last for thousands of years, many of
them would still be in use, as evidenced by Ashoka's "Nine Unknown Men"
and the Lhasa manuscript.
That secret societies or "Brotherhoods" of exceptional,
"enlightened" human beings would have preserved these inventions and the
knowledge of science, history, etc., does not seem surprising.
Many well known historical personages including
Jesus, Buddah, Lao Tzu, Confucious, Krishna, Zoroaster, Mahavira, Quetzalcoatl,
Akhenaton, Moses, and more recent inventors and of course many other people
who will probably remain anonymous, were probably members of such a secret
organization.
It is interesting to note that when Alexander
the Great invaded India more than two thousand years ago, his historians
chronicled that at one point they were attacked by "flying, fiery shields"
that dove at his army and frightened the cavalry.
These "flying saucers" did not use any atomic
bombs or beam weapons on Alexander's army however, perhaps out of benevolence,
and Alexander went on to conquer India.
It has been suggested by many writers that these
"Brotherhoods" keep some of their Vimanas and Vailixi in secret caverns
in Tibet or some other place is Central Asia, and the Lop Nor Desert in western
China is known to be the center of a great UFO mystery.
Perhaps it is here that many of the airships
are still kept, in underground bases much as the Americans, British and Soviets
have built around the world in the past few decades.
Still, not all UFO activity can be accounted
for by old Vimanas making trips to the Moon for some reason. Undoubtedly,
some are from the Military Governments of the world, and possibly even
from other planets.
Of course, many UFO sightings are "swamp, gas,
clouds, hoaxes, and hallucinations, while there is considerable evidence
that many UFO sightings, especially "kidnappings" and the like, are the
result of what is generally called "telepathic hypnosis."
One common thread that often runs between "Alien
kidnappings," "sex with aliens," and other "close encounters of a third
kind" is a buzzing in the ears just before the encounter.
According to many well-informed people, this
is a sure sign of telepathic hypnosis.

More than just Earth Changes
Our Solar System is Changing - >From a Russian Perspective From a
report by Mary Rose Gray (dated 11 Mar 2004)
FROM UFO PHYSICS: http://ufophysics.com/russisun.htm
This is the Russian perspective on earth changes. Hard facts that
are going unreported in America.
The atmospheres of the planets are changing... Dr. Dmitriev's
work "Planetophysical State Of The Earth And Life" (see his four papers at
http://www.tmgnow.com/repository/global/planetophysical.html
) shows that the planets themselves are changing. They are undergoing
changes in their atmospheres.
For example the Martian atmosphere is getting sizably thicker than it was
before. The Mars observer probe in 1997 lost one of its mirrors, which
caused it to crash, because the atmosphere was about twice as dense as they
calculated, and basically the wind on that little mirror was so high that
it blew it right off the device.
Earth's moon is growing an atmosphere... Also, the moon is growing
an atmosphere that's made up of a compound Dmitriev refers to as ''Natrium.''
Dmitriev says that, around the moon, there is this 6,000-kilometer-deep layer
of Natrium that wasn't there before.
And we're having this kind of change in Earth's atmosphere in the upper
levels, where HO2 gas is forming that wasn't there before; it simply did
not exist in the quantity that it does now. It's not related to global
warming and it's not related to CFCs or fluorocarbon emissions or any of
that stuff.
It's just showing up.
Magnetic fields and brightness of the planets are changing. The planets
are experiencing sizeable changes in their overall brightness. Venus,
for example, is showing us marked increases in its overall brightness.
Jupiter has gotten to have such a high energetic charge that there is actually
a visible tube of ionizing radiation that's formed between its moon, Io.
You can actually see the luminous energy tube in photographs that have been
taken more recently.. And the planets are having a change in their fields.
The magnetic fields are becoming stronger. Jupiter's magnetic field
has more than doubled. Uranus's magnetic field is changing. Neptune's
magnetic field is increasing. These planets are becoming brighter.
Their magnetic field strength is getting higher. Their atmospheric qualities
are changing.
Uranus and Neptune appear to have had recent pole shifts. When the
Voyager 2 space probe flew past Uranus and Neptune, the apparent north and
south magnetic poles were sizeably offset from where the rotational pole was.
In one case, it was 50 degrees off, and in the other case the difference
was around 40 degrees, both of which are pretty big changes.
The overall changes could essentially be broken down into three categories:
Energy field changes, luminosity changes, and atmospheric changes.
Overall volcanic activity has increased 500 percent since 1975 On the Earth,
we're seeing the changes even more completely. For example, Michael
Mandeville has done research that has shown that the overall volcanic activity
on the Earth since 1875 has increased by roughly 500 percent. The overall
earthquake activity has increased by 400 percent just since 1973.
Natural disasters increased 410 percent between 1963 and 1993. Dr.
Dmitriev did a very elaborate calculation of natural disasters. He
showed that if you compare the years 1963 through 1993, the overall amount
of natural disasters of all different kinds - whether you are talking hurricanes,
typhoons, mud slides, tidal waves, you name it - have increased by 410 percent.
The Sun's magnetic field increased by 230 percent since 1901... There's
a study by Dr. Mike Lockwood from Rutherford Appleton National Laboratories
in California, who has been investigating the Sun. He has discovered
that since
1901, the overall magnetic field of the Sun has become 230 percent stronger
than it was before.
More than just Earth Changes... So, all in all, what we're seeing
is a lot more than just what they call Earth Changes. Some people get
into the idea that there is an interaction between the Earth and the Sun that's
going on here. Very, very few people are aware of the work that is
being done in the Russian National Academy of Sciences in Siberia, specifically
in Novosibirsk, where they are doing this research. They've come to
the conclusion that the only possible thing that could be causing this energetic
change all throughout the Solar System is that we are moving into an area
of energy that is different - that is higher.
The glowing plasma at the leading edge of our Solar System has recently
increased 1000 percent.
Now, check this out. The Sun itself has a magnetic field, of course,
and that magnetic field creates an egg around the Solar System, which is known
as the heliosphere. The heliosphere is shaped like a teardrop, with
the long and thin end of the drop pointing in the opposite direction from
the direction that we're travelling. It's just like a comet, where the
tail is always pointing away from the Sun.
The Russians have looked at the leading edge of this heliosphere, and they
have observed glowing, excited plasma energy there. This plasma energy
used to be 10 astronomical units deep (an astronomical unit is the distance
from the Earth to the Sun, 93,000,000 miles). So ten astronomical units
represents the normal thickness of this glowing energy that we used to see
at the front end of the Solar System.
Today, that glowing plasma has gone to 100 astronomical units deep.
Although Dmitriev's paper does not give an exact timeline, we can assume
that this increase happened in the same 1963 to 1993 period as the increase
he found in natural disasters. Whenever it happened, that's a 1,000
percent increase in the overall brightness of the energy at the front end
of the Solar System.
And this means that the Solar System itself is moving into an area where
the energy is more highly charged. That higher-charged energy is in
turn exciting the plasma and causing more of it to form, so you see more luminosity,
more brightness. This energy is then flowing into the Sun, which in
turn emits the energy and spreads it out along its equatorial plane, which
is called the Ecliptic.
This in turn is saturating interplanetary space, which causes the solar
emissions to travel more quickly and charge up the energy on the planets.
And this is conscious energy that is changing how the planet works, how
it functions, and what kind of life it supports. The harmonics of the
DNA spiral itself are altering. That's the real, hidden cause of spontaneous
mass evolutions in previous epochs of time.
All this is happening all at the same time, and it's all working up to a
crescendo where there is going to be a sudden shift. In other words,
we will get to the point where we are so far into the new level of energy
that there will be a sudden expansion of the basic harmonic wavelengths that
the Sun emits as it radiates energy out of itself. This increase in
energy emission will change the basic nature of all matter in the Solar System.
The planets are pushed slightly farther away from the Sun and the atoms and
molecules that make them up actually expand in terms of their physical size.

The leading scientific reports on the coming Transformation of our solar
system from the Millennium Group web page
Large world found near Pluto
2001KX76 shows up as two colored dots against the
stars July 3, 2001 - BBC
Astronomers have found one of the largest objects ever detected orbiting
the Sun.
It was seen in a deep space survey looking for bodies circling our star out
near Pluto, the most distant planet. Only planets are larger than this new
object, dubbed 2001 KX76.
The icy, reddish world is over a thousand kilometers across and astronomers
say there may be even larger objects, bigger than planet Pluto itself, awaiting
discovery.
"What we have seen may be only the tip of the iceberg," co-discoverer Dr
Lawrence Wasserman told BBC News Online.
Big surprise
The world - it is big enough to be called a world - has a typical reddish
hue and is probably covered in ice. It orbits the Sun beyond Neptune in the
so-called Kuiper Belt - a region that extends far beyond the known planets.
Since 1992, over 400 Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) have been detected. Their
discovery has revolutionized our view of the distant reaches of our Solar
System. It is the sheer size of 2001 KX76 that is exciting astronomers.
"When we spotted it, we just wrote 'wow' on the image," Lawrence Wasserman,
of the Lowell Observatory in Arizona, US, said. "We knew right away it was
a big one."
Lowell Observatory Director, Robert Millis, added: "This object is intrinsically
the brightest Kuiper Belt Object found so far."
"The exact diameter of 2001 KX76 depends on assumptions that astronomers
make about how its brightness relates to its size. Traditional assumptions
make it the biggest by a significant amount, while others make it larger
by at least 5%."
Uncertain orbit
2001 KX76 could be as large as 1,270 km (788 miles) across, bigger than Ceres,
the largest known asteroid (an object that orbits the Sun between Mars and
Jupiter). It is even larger than Pluto's moon Charon, which has an estimated
diameter of 1,200 km (744 miles).
2001 KX76 was discovered in the course of the Deep Ecliptic Survey, a NASA-funded
search for KBOs. It was seen on 22 May in deep digital images of the southern
sky taken with the 4-metre Blanco Telescope at Cerro Tololo in Chile.
Astronomers estimate that 2001 KX76 is currently at a distance of just over
6.4 billion km (4 billion miles) from the Sun. Its orbit is inclined by approximately
20 degrees with respect to the major planets, but the detailed shape of its
orbit remains uncertain.
Available evidence suggests that the newly discovered KBO may be in an orbital
dance with Neptune, orbiting the Sun three times for each time that Neptune
completes four orbits.
"2001 KX76 is so exciting because it demonstrates that significant bodies
remain to be discovered in the Kuiper Belt," Robert Millis explains.
True extent
Lawrence Wasserman agrees: "We have every reason to believe that objects
ranging up to planets as large or larger than Pluto are out there waiting
to be found."
Dr David Jewitt of the University of Hawaii who has discovered many KBOs,
including the first one ever seen, told BBC News Online: "We're inching up
to Pluto. It is just a matter of time until we see Pluto 2, Pluto 3, and
so on."
Robert Millis said: "Until the Kuiper Belt has been thoroughly explored,
we cannot pretend to know the extent or the content of the Solar System."
The researchers hope that other astronomers who have access to large telescopes
over the next few weeks will be able to turn them on 2001 KX76 in the hope
of gathering enough light to get a spectrum of the object.
Washington Post: Mystery Heavenly Body Discovered,
a front page story 31-Dec-1983
A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly
so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found
in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard
the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite. So mysterious is the object that
astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby "protostar"
that never got hot enough to become a star, a distant galaxy so young that
it is still in the process of forming its first stars or a galaxy so shrouded
in dust that none of the light cast by its stars ever gets through. "All
I can tell you is that we don't know what it is," Dr. Gerry Neugebauer, IRAS
chief scientist for California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and director of
the Palomar Observatory for the California Institute of Technology said in
an interview.
The most fascinating explanation of this mystery body, which is so cold it
casts no light and has never been seen by optical telescopes on Earth or
in space, is that it is a giant gaseous planet, as large as Jupiter and as
close to Earth as 50 billion miles. While that may seem like a great distance
in earthbound terms, it is a stone's throw in cosmological terms, so close
in fact that it would be the nearest heavenly body to Earth beyond the outermost
planet Pluto. "If it is really that close, it would be a part of our solar
system," said Dr. James Houck of Cornell University's Center for Radio Physics
and Space Research and a member of the IRAS science team. "If it is that
close, I don't know how the world's planetary scientists would even begin
to classify it."
The mystery body was seen twice by the infrared satellite as it scanned the
northern sky from last January to November, when the satellite ran out of
the supercold helium that allowed its telescope to see the coldest bodies
in the heavens. The second observation took place six months after the first
and suggested the mystery body had not moved from its spot in the sky near
the western edge of the constellation Orion in that time. "This suggests
it's not a comet because a comet would not be as large as the one we've observed
and a comet would probably have moved," Houck said. "A planet may have moved
if it were as close as 50 billion miles but it could still be a more distant
planet and not have moved in six months time.
Whatever it is, Houck said, the mystery body is so cold its temperature is
no more than 40 degrees above "absolute" zero, which is 459 degrees Fahrenheit
below zero. The telescope aboard IRAS is cooled so low and is so sensitive
it can "see" objects in the heavens that are only 20 degrees above absolute
zero. When IRAS scientists first saw the mystery body and calculated that
it could be as close as 50 billion miles, there was some speculation that
it might be moving toward Earth. "It's not incoming mail," Cal Tech's Neugebauer
said. "I want to douse that idea with as much cold water as I can."
Sun weirdness is found a lot in Biblical accounts and prophecy The
sun stopped dead:
Joshua 10:12-14 On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua
said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: "O sun, stand still over Gibeon,
O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon." So the sun stood still, and the moon
stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written
in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed
going down about a full day. There has never been a day like it before or
since, a day when the LORD listened to a man. Surely the LORD was fighting
for Israel!
The sun reversed:
Isaiah 38:5-8 "Go and tell Hezekiah, 'This is what the LORD, the God of your
father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will
add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from
the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city. "'This is the LORD'S
sign to you that the LORD will do what he has promised: I will make the shadow
cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of
Ahaz.'" So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.
The sun went dark:
Matthew 24:23-31 At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!'
or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets
will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if
that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. "So if anyone tells
you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in
the inner rooms,' do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the
east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. "Immediately
after the distress of those days 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon
will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly
bodies will be shaken.' "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear
in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the
Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And
he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his
elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Interview With Dr. Leonard Horowitz From: P Dalton
pdalton@uneedspeed.net http://www.xmag.com/archives/7-09-mar00/naziflu2.htm
Redden: I'd like to begin this interview by
asking you about the flu.
Many of my friends are sick, and I've read a number of news stories, which
say that people are sick around the world. So many people are sick
that hospital emergency rooms are swamped and doctors are postponing surgeries.
But at the same time, the mainstream media is not referring to this outbreak
as an epidemic. So let me ask you, is there a flu epidemic underway
or not?
Horowitz: There has been for quite some time,
but the authorities are suppressing the news about it. It's only been
recently that the mainstream media has acknowledged that hospital emergency
rooms are filled with patients with this bizarre upper respiratory infection
that doesn't quite seem to be a virus-a flu that the flu vaccines were ineffective
against, that was a surprise and a complete mystery to the Centers for Disease
Control authorities. That's all hogwash, bogus nonsense. The
fact of the matter is, we have seen this type of an epidemic since the end
of 1998 and the beginning of 1999. People have been hacking and coughing
with this bizarre illness that does not seem to follow any logical viral
or bacterial onset and transition period. It was something that did
not cause a high fever. If it was a bacterial or viral infection, it
would have caused a fever in these people. It didn't. It was
something that lasted weeks, if not months. They had sinus congestion,
sinus drainage, they had a cough, they had fatigue, general malaise, they
felt they were not quite right.
Redden: Then is it fair to call this the flu,
or is it something else?
Horowitz: I think it's only fair to call it
flu-like. It is pathognomonic of, not a bacterial or viral infection,
it is pathognomonic of a fungus or a fungus related to a flu. And
that's exactly what has been developed and patented by the Armed Forces
Research Institute of Pathology. We've reprinted the patent report
in the new book, Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse. We show
you the report on the "pathogenic micoplasma." That's a quote, "pathogenic
micoplasma." And if you know anything about micoplasmas, mico indicates fungal,
but yet micoplasma is not really a fungus, it's not really a bacteria, it's
not really a virus.
It's sort of like a pseudo all of them. It has no cell wall, it goes
deep into the cell nuclei thereby making it very difficult to mount an immune
response against.
Redden: And it's man-made- Horowitz: It's
man-made. It can be used as a biological weapon. It was developed
as an AIDS vaccine-related organism. It was extracted from AIDS patients.
It is responsible for virtually all of the symptoms which AIDS patients suffer
from. The AIDS virus is at best a co-factor, and not even such a strong
co-factor as to bring on all of the symptoms of AIDS.
This particular organism, the micoplasma, is associated with this upper
respiratory flu-like illness. And it's also associated in its pathogenic
process with a whole variety of other symptoms that mimic AIDS.
Redden: And that's what you think is causing
this epidemic?
Horowitz: That's only one of the factors.
The patent report lays it out.
Like, how you can use a factor like that to cause chronic upper respiratory
infections just like what is going on. I mean, virtually identical
to what's going on. It's patented by the Armed Forces Research Institute
of Pathology.
Redden: How did it get out of the lab and
into the general population?
Horowitz: There's only speculation, and the
most likely thesis that I'm looking at is through contaminated vaccines,
contaminated blood supplies. I don't know any other suitable mode of
transmitting that kind of infectious agent.
Redden: What about the current controversy
over chemtrails-the theory that airplanes are spraying the population with
some kind of chemical or biological weapon. As I understand it, a number
of researchers believe that many of the contrails in the skies these days
are not the normal contrails formed by high-flying jets, but are actually
trails of chemical or biological agents, which spread out and then fall
on the earth. Could this micoplasma be transmitted to the population
through chemtrails?
Horowitz: I don't relate it to the chemtrails.
I don't believe that this particular organism could be suitably spread that
way. But I believe the chemtrails are responsible for a chemical intoxication
of the public, which would then cause a general immune suppression, low
grade to high grade, depending on exposure. An immune dysfunction,
which would then allow people to become susceptible to opportunistic infections,
such as this micoplasma and other opportunistic infections.
Redden: So you believe that high-flying planes
are, in fact, spraying something on the population-that the theory is real?
Horowitz: There's no question that it's real.
There's no doubt about that. I first began to investigate chemtrails
when some were sprayed over my home in Northern Idaho. I took pictures
of them, and then contacted the Environmental Protection Agency of the state.
When I contacted their directors, they were clueless and referred me to
the Air Force. They then got me in touch with Centers for Disease
Control Toxicology, and after about a week I received a letter from one
of their chief toxicologists saying, indeed there was some amount of ethylene
dibromide in the jet fuel.
Now, ethylene dibromide is a known human chemical carcinogen that was removed
from unleaded gasoline because of its cancer-causing effects. Now
suddenly it has appeared in the jet fuel that apparently high-altitude military
aircraft are emitting.
Redden: Why has ethylene dibromide been added
to jet fuel?
Horowitz: When you examine who owns the fuel,
who are the fuel company directors, suddenly you enter into the realm of
the Rockefeller family and the royal families-Standard Oil and British Petroleum.
And what are their other agendas? Suddenly now you see their documents,
showing that they have funded, historically, eugenics, racial hygiene, genocide,
depopulation, family planning, maternal and child health-where they make
and deliver vaccines, and contaminated blood supplies. These are the
banksters, the same people who run the blood banking as well as the money
banking industries. In both Emerging Viruses and Healing Codes, I reference
a great book by Dr. John Coleman, who worked as a British Secret Service
agent at the highest levels. And he articulated very clearly who was
running those companies.
ABOUT PLANET X
INTRODUCTION We first broke the news about Planet X in the August, 2002
issue of our newsletter. In our January, 2003 issue we gave our readers
an update on Planet X. Due to the many inquiries we have received,
in this issue I want to again review the subject and update the information
we have about Planet X.
WHAT IS PLANET X?
Planet X is a planet that the ancient Sumerians referred to as "Nibiru."
This ancient Sumerian word literally means "Planet Of The Crossing." The
Sumerians gave it this name because every 3,630 years Planet X crosses Earth´s
orbit. The Sumerians counted it as the twelth planet in our solar
system because they regarded both the Sun and Moon as planets. However,
modern astronomers have dubbed it as Planet X, meaning that it is the tenth
planet in our solar system, the "X" standing for "ten." Planet X has a highly
elliptical orbit, rather than the usual circular orbit, more resembling the
orbit of a comet than of a planet. It´s orbit carries it far
out into space, far beyond our known solar system, but then every 3,630 years
it returns to the inner solar system and crosses the orbit of Earth.
Planet X is a humongous, giant planet over five times larger than Earth,
and having over 100 times the mass of Earth. It has a magnetic core
that is so powerful that it clashes with the electromagnetic fields of other
planets in the solar system. It was because of this electromagnetic
disturbance of other planets that astronomers in recent times figured out
that there had to be another huge heavenly body in the outer reaches of
the solar system. The search for this unknown heavenly body began over
400 years ago. There is a great amount of literature available on the
subject for those who want to research it.
Astronomers finally discovered Planet X in 1982. It was in that
year that NASA acknowledged the existence of it. A year later (1983)
IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) actually spotted a large mysterious
object in the depths of space. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory also
acknowledged its existence. News items about its discovery were printed
in the Washington Post and the New York Times. But shortly after these
public announcements the great coverup began.
THE GREAT COVERUP After the discovery of Planet X in 1982, astronomers
began to study it seriously. They soon discovered that it was inbound,
headed towards the inner solar system again. It was determined that
it would cause massive earthquakes, volcanoes, tidal waves, the melting
or shifting of the polar ice caps, sudden fluctuations in temperature and
climatic conditions, and probably a shift in the polar axis of Earth.
This information was passed on to the political leaders in our government,
and presumably the political leaders of other nations. After some consultation,
it was decided that if the news about Planet X and the worldwide disaster
that it is expected to cause was released to the public, the public would
react in fear, hysteria, panic, and anarchy. The result would be the
total collapse of the world economy. Wicked men will protect their
precious dollars at any cost, counting them of more value than the lives
of their fellow human beings. So, a decision was made to suppress
all information about Planet X, classifying it as "Super Top Secret." Yet,
in the years since 1982-83, NASA and other agencies have continued to diligently
study Planet X, accumulating a vast amount of information about it.
In spite of the best efforts of astronomical and political leaders, working
in collusion to suppress all information about Planet X, there have been
leaks.
It is now known that the Hubble Space Telescope has been repeatedly
used to observe Planet X, but all information obtained by it has been hidden
from the public. Only a select few top scientists and government officials
have been allowed to view the photographs of Planet X picked up by Hubble.
It has also been revealed that the Hubble telescope is equipped with special
technological equipment that prevents any interception of its signals by
anyone other than NASA. Since it is only taking pictures of things in the
heavens, why is it so important that only NASA receives those pictures?
Do they have something to hide? They sure think they do!
It has also been revealed that since 1982-83 the government has quietly
financed and built eight new observatories, equipping them with the most
advanced technological equipment available, for the specific purpose of
studying Planet X. These observatories are in various locations around
the U.S., with two of them being in New Mexico. But the public was
never told about these observatories being built with their tax dollars.
Why?
YOUR CARING GOVERNMENT During the twenty-two years since the discovery
of Planet X, the governments of the wealthy industrial nations of the world
have quietly built vast underground complexes (bunkers) capable of housing
thousands of people. These bunkers are intended to guarantee the survival
of certain wealthy political leaders, ultra-rich bankers, corporate heads,
etc., and others deemed necessary for their survival and pleasure.
These bunkers have been stocked with enough food, water, clothing, medicine,
and technological equipment to guarantee the survival of the occupants for
several years. Those "selected" to use the bunkers have also placed
various treasures in them (art; money; automobiles; alcohol; etc.) in order
to preserve these things for their future use. At the proper time these
"special" people plan to enter their secret, reinforced, earthquake proof
bunkers, where they expect to "ride out" the devastation caused by Planet
X, emerging only after the chaos and danger is over.
But what about the masses of people on Earth who have no bunkers?
Too bad! So sad! The ultra-rich political and financial leaders
of the world could care less about the survival of the "common man." The
only important thing to them is that they survive. They are the "nobles."
They must survive in order to rebuild a "New World Order" and rule over
whatever "peons" may survive the devastation caused by Planet X. Sic!
BUT GOD.....Will Help His Own.
As I read these various reports now coming in, I have been made to marvel
at the absolute accuracy of God´s inspired Word. There is no
question that the coming of Planet X is going to cause Earth to tremble and
shake like it has never been shaken previously in human history, Haggai 26-7;
Matthew 2421; Hebrews 1226-27; Revelation 1618.
Now read Isaiah 210-22, noting especially verses 19-21.
"And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of
the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when
He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast
his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for
himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts
of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord,
and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth."
And when this happens to these wicked men, "He that sitteth in the heavens
shall laugh the Lord shall have them in derision," Psalm 24. See also Psalm
591-8 and Proverbs 122-31.
All of these grandiose plans being made by those who consider themselves
the "elite" of humanity, are going to come to naught. Not only does
Isaiah 2 tell us that their treasures will be left "to the moles and to
the bats," but James 51-3 tells us that their "gold and silver" will become
"cankered" and will "rust." These vast underground bunkers that the wicked
ultra-rich of the earth have built, may very well become their tombs.
There is no way to guarantee that the entrances of these bunkers will not
be buried deep beneath the earth, sealed forever by the terrible earthquakes
that are going to occur with the coming of Planet X. Neither is there
any way to guarantee that the areas of the earth where these bunkers are
located won´t sink beneath the seas in the coming devastation, carrying
their occupants to a watery grave. Someone once wrote, The best laid
plans of mice and men often come to naught." This is precisely why Isaiah
222 warns, "Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils for wherein
is he to be accounted of?"
SOURCES Is the information we are reporting about Planet X reliable?
Is Earth really going to be devastated when Planet X (or some other heavenly
body) comes flying past? Where am I getting my information?
These are questions that every reader has a right to ask, and they deserve
to be answered. Read on!
In our January newsletter I mentioned that some 70 websites (or more)
are dispensing information about Planet X. Our readers can check
these websites out for themselves. In the "Search" area of your computer,
just type in the words "Planet X," then click "Go" and it will bring up several
sites. Take your choice or investigate them all.
Warning.....Some of the sites carrying information about Planet X are
promoting the New Age movement, Humanism, various cults, Occultism, etc.
They are taking advantage of the coming of Planet X to promote their own
deceptive agenda. There is also a website called "Zeta" that should
be avoided. It appears to be a front for government propaganda, and
is dispensing a lot of disinformation, trying to make the whole subject
of Planet X look like a three ring circus. Beware!
On the other hand, there are websites that are reliable, responsible,
and dedicated to informing the public about the coming of Planet X and
the danger it poses for all mankind.
I have received much of my information about Planet X from reports issued
by Dr. James McCanney. Dr. McCanney is an Astrophysicist
that is known and respected in the scientific community throughout the world.
He graduated from St. Mary´s University in 1970 with a double
degree in Physics and Mathematics. He obtained his Masters Degree
from Tulane University in 1973 in Nuclear and Solid State Physics.
In 1979 he joined the faculty of Cornell University as an instructor in
Physics. For several years he served in a consulting capacity to NASA.
He also provided copies of his scientific publications dealing with "the
electrical nature of the cosmos" to fellow scientists connected with the
Russian government. A number of his studies on planetary electromagnetism
have been published in scientific journals around the world. He has
written at least one book (probably more)
that I am aware of on the subject of "The Electromagnetic Componet Of
The Solar System." He has also written a 60 page manual for the public
on how to prepare for the coming of Planet X. Dr. McCanney
has known about the coming of Planet X for several years, but while he was
obligated to NASA and other government funded institutions, he was sworn
to absolute secrecy. Dr. McCanney no longer has any ties to
NASA or other government agencies, and he is now "blowing the whistle"
on the government coverup. As far as I know Dr. McCanney is
not a Christian. He does not appear to write from a Christian perspective.
Yet he is so concerned about the danger to the public, that he has a daily
radio broadcast and a website dispensing information about Planet X.
I don´t know where a person could be found that is more knowledgeable,
qualified, and reliable, to speak about Planet X than Dr. James McCanney.
Those who choose to ignore his warnings will do so to their own hurt.
I also receive information from Mark Hazlewood, author of "Blindsided,"
a book about the coming of Planet X. Mr. Hazlewood keeps up
with Planet X on a daily basis, and is in contact with other Planet X researchers.
His information has proven to be highly reliable.
There are other websites that also carry reliable information on Planet
X. The sources mentioned here should be sufficient to convince our
readers that Planet X is not just a figment of my overactive imagination.
Planet X is real! Its coming is being predicted by some of the top
scientific minds living today. The effects of it will soon be knocking
at your door. Are you ready?
WHAT IS EXPECTED?
According to the Astronomers, Astrophysicists, Cosmologists, Geologists,
Meteorologists, and various others scientists that are seriously studying
the coming of Planet X.....
The Sun.....Planet X is already having a tremendous effect on the Sun.
Astronomers and scientists began keeping a record of solar flares (explosions...Coronal
Mass Ejections) on the Sun in the
1700´s. Over a period of time it became obvious that solar
flares reach a maximum every eleven years. Once the peak is reached,
then solar flares decline for approximately five and a half years.
The the next five and a half years they increase until they peak again
in the eleventh year. This eleven year cycle has been going on ever
since men of science began keeping records of their observations.
But something has changed.....
The last eleven year peak was reached in 2000. After 2000 scientists
fully expected solar flares to decline, just as they always have done in
the past. But they didn´t! Instead, they have steadily
increased in both frequency and intensity. The largest solar flares
ever recorded have occurred since the eleven year peak in 2000.
What is happening?
Dr. McCanney and other Planet X researchers are convinced that
the increase in solar activity is due to the electromagnetic field of Planet
X interacting with the electromagnetic field of the Sun. As Planet
X comes closer, it is expected that solar flares on the Sun will continue
to increase in frequency and intensity. Many centuries ago, God inspired
the prophet Isaiah to write, "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as
the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the
light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of His
people, and healeth the stroke of their wound," Isaiah 3026.
It is an established fact that the Moon has no light of its own, but
is rather a reflector of the light of the Sun. But the Sun only gives
off light according to the amount of heat being produced by its nuclear
fusion electromagnetic generator. Therefore, when the light reflected
by the Moon becomes as bright as the light of the Sun is today, and the
light of the Sun increases sevenfold, consider the "heat" effect it will
have on Earth and its inhabitants. Read Revelation 87 and 168-9 and
believe.
The Earth.....Planet X is also already effecting the Earth. The
effects of it were recognized by planetary scientists as far back as 1995.
Its magnetic field had probably began to effect Earth even earlier.
Remember "El Nino" and the 500 year floods of 1993? Weather patterns
have changed dramatically, producing "strange" weather. Climatic conditions
are changing. The polar ice caps and mountain glaciers are melting.
It has been revealed that in 1995 a worldwide "disinformation" campaign was
launched by government "insiders," blaming the strange weather patterns on
"Global Warming." But a number of highly respected scientists, who were not
in on the "coverup," rejected totally the theory of "global warming." Rather,
they [rightly] pointed out that the polar ice caps and mountain glaciers
are melting from underneath, not from the surface. Why?
Due to the approach of Planet X, solar flares are increasing on the
Sun. The Sun is ejecting massive amounts of electromagnetic energy
into space. Some of this electromagnetic energy is being attracted
and absorbed by Earth´s magnetic core, causing the molten iron core
of Earth to heat up. The increased heat from Earth´s core is
filtering through the mantle of Earth to the surface, causing the melting
of the ice caps and glaciers from beneath. There is no "global warming"
being caused by household sprays and fossil fuels, and never has been.
Such a claim is disinformation put out by those involved in the cover-up.
A recent news release revealed that the info 3/19/2003
There is now somewhere between 20 and 200 feet of water under the polar
ice caps. This amount of water under the ice caps serves as a lubricant,
and in the event of a major earthquake and polar shift, could cause the
ice caps to suddenly slide into the ocean. When that happens, it will
cause massive tidal waves that will wash over whole continents.
In Psalm 462-3 we read, "Therefore will not we fear, though the earth
be removed [out of orbit], and though the mountains be carried into the
midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar [Luke 2125] and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof."
In Amos 56-8 Israel is urged to "Seek Him that maketh the seven stars
and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh
the day dark with night that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth
them out upon the face of the earth the Lord is His name." This is repeated
a second time in Amos 96. It clearly predicts that tidal waves are
going to sweep across the continents, or parts of them, during the coming
Tribulation. Read also Habakkuk 310, carefully noticing the context.
Are you beginning to see the picture? Are you getting the message?
The Solar System.....Psalm 10225-26 distinctly states that "the heavens"
and "the earth" are going to be "changed." This is exactly what planetary
scientists are predicting is going to happen as Planet X passes through
the solar system. Planet X is not alone! It has its own moons
orbiting it and a long tail behind it that stretches out millions of miles
across space. Because of the tremendous size of Planet X, the force
of its electromagnetic field, and the huge amount and long trail of space
debris that is accompanying it, Dr. McCanney and other planetary scientists
are expecting it to cause great destruction and "change" as it passes through
our solar system. Isn´t this exactly what Psalm 10225-26 predicts?
You know it is!
Isaiah 516 also predicts that "the heavens shall vanish away like smoke."
When Planet X comes flying through our solar system, it will pass between
Earth and Mercury, passing closer to Mercury than Earth. Mercury is a very
small planet. Because of the tremendous size of Planet X and the power
of its magnetic core, planetary scientists are expecting Mercury to literally
explode, and the debris of it to be drawn into the tail of Planet X.
Just as the Scripture says, Mercury is expected to "vanish away like smoke."
This same thing may also happen to one or more of the other planets in
the solar system, depending on how close they are drawn to Planet X as
it passes.
The Coming.....Planet X is coming into our solar system from almost
directly beneath the south pole of Earth. This position is considered
a "blind spot" by astronomers. This explains why Planet X is not
already visible in the night sky. But very shortly it will rise high
enough in the sky, from our perspective on Earth, to become visible. It
can already be seen by the huge telescopes in various observatories around
the world. It is expected that by March 15th it will be visible to
amateur astronomers using good telescopes or powerful binoculars. Then
approximately 45 to 60 days in advance of its passing Earth, it will become
visible in the night sky to anyone who wants to look. This will be
approximately April 1st, and it could appear even sooner.
The Passing And Aftermath.....As I write I have before me a detailed
scientific sky map, drawn to scale, showing the exact route that Planet
X is expected to take as it passes through the solar system.
According to this map, Dr. McCanney and other planetary scientists
believe that Planet X will pass between Earth and Mercury on May 15- 16.
However, because of the magnetic forces at work between Planet X and other
heavenly bodies, the speed and trajectory of Planet X varies slightly.
It is possible that its arrival could be delayed until sometime in June,
although that is not expected to happen.
Approximately four days after Planet X passes between Earth and Mercury,
it will then "cross over" the orbit of the Earth [the orbit Earth follows
as it revolves around the Sun]. This should occur approximately May
20-21. But it will take Earth another fifteen days to reach the same
point in space. This means that Earth will reach that intersection
about June 5-6. At that time Earth will plow headlong into the trail
of debris stretching out behind Planet X. Because this trail of debris stretches
out across space for millions of miles, Earth will pass through the tail
of Planet X . The Dates.....I want our readers to carefully note the dates
being predicted by planetary scientists who are studying Planet X.
May 15-16 is the date of Israel´s 55th birthday as a nation.
On that date 55 years ago, May 15, 1948 [Jewish reckoning], Israel became
a nation again. God must have taken notice, for on May 16th there
will be a spectular eclipse of the full moon; "a blood moon." Coincidence?
Hardly!
June 5-6, the date that Earth is expected to plow into the tail of Planet
X, is the 36th anniversary of the Six Day War of 1967. Didn´t
God say He would "avenge" the blood of His people, Israel, on the Gentiles?
"For I will cleanse [avenge] their blood that I have not cleansed [avenged]
for the Lord dwelleth in Zion," Joel 220-21. Glory! Give praise to
the Lord!
Conclusions.....Folks, it ought to be clear to any honest Bible student
that the Lord is going to use Planet X (or some other heavenly body) to
fulfill many of the Tribulation prophecies.
In view of the coming of Planet X, and how it harmonizes with the prophetic
Scriptures, I personally feel that the Lord is going to begin the 70th Week
of Daniel, Daniel 927, right where the 69th week terminated, allowing for
the intervening Dispensation of Grace. The 69th week of Daniel´s
prophecy (483 years) ended at sundown, Abib 10,
31 A.D. See Luke 1928-44. It now appears that the Lord will
begin the 70th week of Daniel (7 years) on Abib 11, 2003 [April 12th],
2000 prophetic years from the time the 69th week ended. Then some
thirty days later Planet X will come flying past Earth, literally fulfilling
2 Peter 310, Isaiah 136, and Joel 115.
Inventor claims he can make things invisible
By MARTHA QUILLIN, THE NEWS & OBSERVER OF RALEIGH, N.C.
(SHN) - Care packages of candy bars and beef jerky are a welcome taste
of home to soldiers in Iraq, but an inventor has something they could really
use: a way to make them invisible to the eyes of the enemy.
Ray M. Alden has designed a system of tiny lenses and mirrors he says
could be used to camouflage almost any object - a tank, a Humvee or an individual
soldier - in any environment.
With such a device, fighting forces would have less to fear from the
urban combat they still face in the treacherous alleys of Iraqi cities,
where they are searching for armed holdouts of Saddam Hussein's regime.
To the human eye peering out from a barricaded door, the soldiers would
simply disappear into the background.
Alden's idea may not be as Buck Rogers as it seems. A Japanese company
already has developed a system that can make individual objects "disappear"
from certain vantage points, and simple versions have been used by illusionists
to make audiences think islands can vanish from the landscape. Alden's more
complex concept would obscure objects from any perspective.
It would require covering the surface with lenses or "pixels" that receive,
transmit and reflect light from the object's surroundings. Made into a
suit, for example, the pixels could absorb light coming from a soldier's
left and emit it at the same trajectory to the soldier's right, and vice
versa. The result would be that a person looking at the soldier would see
"through" him, observing colors in the shapes of whatever is on the other
side.
"Not only can it be done," said Alden, "it will be done. It probably
already is being done" in the well-guarded laboratories where military
advances are made.
He has exhausted his savings pursuing the development of these and other
potentially useful products.
The U.S. military has long looked for ways to make its personnel and
equipment less obvious in the field of battle, a goal it calls "signature
management." The most primitive technique might be painting a tank yellow
before driving it into the desert, or dressing a soldier in shades of green
and dropping him into the jungle to fight. Radar blocking is a little more
sophisticated.
Alden, who has a business degree and has done marketing for a handful
of software companies in North Carolina, said he quit his job a year ago
to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor. He has five patents in hand and
has another 20 pending, including the pixels-and-mirrors camouflage. Each
U.S. patent costs at least $1,000 in fees. He has spent thousands more on
patent applications abroad.
Some of Alden's designs can be seen on his Web site, inventricity.com.
Unlike his work in the information technology field, where he was in
constant contact with clients and other contractors, his life as an inventor
has been largely a solitary pursuit, Alden said.
"You can't really talk to anybody about it. Everything is secret."
Alden said he has presented his idea to military researchers and defense

Smallpox Vaccination Risks Versus Natural Healing of Smallpox Foreword
by Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H.
The following article is one of the best I've seen on the topic of
smallpox which is currently headlining many news sites. Clearly, this effort
to frighten people into compliance with harmful, if not lethal, smallpox
vaccination needs to be exposed for what it is-a grave hoax and genocidal
scam.
I say "grave hoax" because there is no rational public health value
in "mandating" a vaccine most of which dates back to the 1950s, has been
diluted five times for current consumption, without any scientific justification
that it may be effective against ANY modern form of hyper-weaponized smallpox
that derives from bioweapons laboratories in Iraq, North Korea, or Russia,
as Bush administration and health officials have been warning, with its
milieu of health and life-threatening consequences no less.
I say "genocidal scam since the terms best fit the promotion of this
alleged preventative. The mass inoculation outcomes are consistent
with the strict definition of genocide that includes "the mass enslaving
and killing of people for economics, politics and/or ideology." In this
case the enslavement comes in the form of chronic degenerative diseases
induced by the vaccine's side effect, enslaving people to drugs for the
"management" of their diseases that effect mortality-the mass killing of
people, in this case representing all races and religions.
Clearly, the ideology expressed by most scientists and medical clinicians
who wrote their considered opinions to the FDA last summer does not support
this current genocidal policy. The consensus proclaimed that mass
smallpox vaccinations would be contraindicated during these troubled times.
At most, "we" health care professionals proclaimed, 15,000 "front line defenders"
might wish to receive this vaccine.
(Even this was, in my opinion, tragic.) Two days after that consensus
was reached, the medical deities (MDs) representing Bush administration
and pharmaceutical industry interests upped the number of targeted "front
line defenders," without any logical justification, to 500,000 where it
stands at the time of this writing. (Dec. 6, 2002)
Thus, the word "scam" adequately applies to this ruse, while the apt
term genocide might be more specifically stated as "iatrogenocide"-physician
induced injury and death deriving from professional negligence (a scatomatous
state of ignorance associated with a dereliction of duty to learn the
whole truth) and homicidal behavior consistent with "Manchurian candidates"
for a global petro-chemical/pharmaceutical population controlling elite.
WAKE UP FOOLS! Declare religious and medical exemptions from
this mechanism of mass murder. Go into hiding, quit valued jobs, run
the other way. Do anything and everything you need to do to avert this
catastrophy. Do I make myself clear?
And if you hear this, but fail to receive it, then go ahead in your
stubborn ignorance, get vaccinated with this cow pus-the world needs fewer
fools.
Smallpox by Dr. Vivian Virginia Vetrano A dead disease is being
resurrected. Now the media will have something exciting to talk
about everyday and to frighten the benighted American public with.
For whatever reason, the revivification of smallpox is certainly on the
current agenda.
Not too long ago Fox News showed us a picture of a man who was covered
with smallpox pustules on his arms, face, legs and abdomen. The
pustules were big, black, ugly, scabby and closely compacted. He
looked like he was a monster from some other world. It was enough
to scare me, were it not for the fact that I know that it was drug treatment
that caused that ugly picture and not the disease at all. The cause
of those ugly marks was carbolic acid that had been used to kill the supposed
germ that caused the eruptive rash.
Who are the terrorists? The pharmaceutical companies or the Taliban?
Because of what the terrorists may or may not do, the pharmaceutical industry
(the largest industry in the world), is gearing us up for mandatory vaccinations,
specially for certain people in areas that may be targeted by the terrorists.
The authorities claim that we will be safe from terrorists attacks using
the pox virus because there are adequate stockpiles of cultivated smallpox
viruses in Russia and in the USA to make most all the vaccines "needed."
It is claimed by medical historians that the vaccination process wiped
out smallpox throughout the world. However, the truth is that compulsory
vaccination was abandoned because more deaths were caused by the vaccinations
than there were cases of smallpox. A slight of the hand trick was
used to foster the claim that smallpox was eradicated by the vaccination
practice. Everyone who had been vaccinated and who developed smallpox
was diagnosed as having chicken pox!
[Dr. Horowitz notes that smallpox was never fully eradicated
since monkey pox, genetically 92 percent identical to the variola virus associated
with smallpox, has persisted.] The doctors who were interviewed on recent
television shows admit that the vaccine may cause many serious side-effects
and that a certain number of persons will develop painful and sometimes
lethal sequelae. Yet, they advise that it is better to take the chance
and be vaccinated in spite of these dangers.
Edward Jenner, a notorious fake and quack, is credited with having
"discovered" vaccination. However, it was a practice of many ancient
peoples long before his time. Savage and barbaric tribes in various
parts of the world practiced inoculation even before Jenner's time.
It is conjectured to have begun in India and then spread to Africa and Europe.
Lady Mary Wortley Montague, wife of the British Ambassador to the Ottoman
Court in l7l7 introduced the practice to Europe. But, due to its proven
evils, one of which was an increase in smallpox in England, the practice
was abolished in l840.
It is pertinent that James Phipps, the eight year old boy vaccinated
by Jenner in l896, died at the age of 20. He had been re-vaccinated
twenty times. Jenner's own son who had also been vaccinated more
than once died at the young age of twenty-one. Both succumbed to tuberculosis,
a condition that some researchers have linked to the smallpox vaccine.
(Eleanor McBean, The Poisoned Needle, 28,29,66 ).
According to the medical profession, smallpox or variola is an acute
highly infectious and contagious disease characterized by a specific rash.
According to past and present Natural Hygienic practitioners smallpox
is primarily a disease brought about by gastrointestinal putrescence.
Fermenting and rotting food in the intestinal tract enervates, and causes
increased digestive impairment accompanied by increased systemic toxemia.
The toxins are from the absorption of the fermentation products formed
in the intestinal tract. Since those who overeat, especially on
animal products, are enervated, meaning they lack normal nerve function,
all the organs of elimination are functioning on a lower physiological
level and greater toxicity ensues. Toxins from decomposing animal
foods are highly irritating, so the body has to get rid of them quickly
and must use extraordinary means since the organs of elimination are not
functioning well. Therefore, the poisons are carried by the blood
to the skin and the body eliminates them in various forms of skin eruptions.
Smallpox is about as contagious as stumbling over a rock. Dr.
Herbert M. Shelton slept in the same bed with his brother while
the latter was in the so-called infectious stage with vesicles all over.
Yet Dr. Shelton did not develop smallpox.
Smallpox begins with the same symptoms that many acute diseases do;
such as chills, fever, backache, and vomiting. This is indicative of a
common cause and a common way to deal with the cause. The body is
a magnificent ecosystem and when it finds abnormal and extraneous substances
anywhere within its domain, it creates a higher temperature, purposely,
to overcome the foreign proteins, toxic substances, viruses, bacteria or
other microorganisms. Whatever is upsetting the ecosystem must be
corrected by the organism itself. It needs no alien "cures."
The symptoms should not be "cured." To suppress these symptoms assures
that some other worse problem will develop.
Some substances, such as an excess of protein putrefactive products,
are so toxic that it is urgent to eliminate them immediately. The
papular eruption of smallpox is purposely created and chosen as the correct
channel at the time for the elimination of these types of noxious substances.
Furthermore, the body may not have the specific enzymes to biodegrade
whatever it is. Instead of being taken care
of by the liver or the kidneys the body chooses to eject them through
the skin. Vicarious elimination's such as this are often natural emergency
measures.
Smallpox begins with chills, fever, backache, headache and vomiting.
A fever of l03 to l04 degrees F is customary. The high fever increases
the healing activities of the cells, and it is a most efficient way to
accomplish the needed detoxification. This means that the toxins are
now out of the functioning cells and in the blood near the skin. The
body no longer needs to speed up cellular metabolism in order to cast out
the extraneous substances and the fever subsides. In about two days
the fever, and other symptoms subside. This is when the inflammatory
rash appears. It turns into an elevation of the skin called a papule.
The blister becomes dimpled or umbilicated. The rash and the
development of the papules indicate that the irritants or toxic substances
have been removed by the hyperactive, feverish cells and carried to the
skin to be cast out.
Next the little papules become vesicles, like a blister, except that
each papule has a little dimple in it. This is the so- called stage
that is supposed to be infective or contagious, should anyone touch the
person having smallpox.
After the vesicles are formed, they may become pustules filled with
white blood cells if the individual is extra toxic. The white blood
cells are there to destroy the toxins in the vesicles. But, this stage would
never be reached if cared for hygienically. The papules dry up and
form scabs that eventually fall off. When treated improperly they
will leave a scar.
It is pertinent to recognize that when the eruption begins, the fever
subsides. The patient would normally be on the road to recovery
were it not for the medications given by the doctor.
Medical treatment however, consists in using something that kills
the microbes which they assume cause the rash, so it has to be something
such as a disinfectant that destroys cell life.
This is consistent with their medical dogma.
Therefore, in the past, the profession applied gauze that had been
soaked in antiseptic solutions such as phenol (carbolic acid) or bichloride
of mercury ( aka mercuric chloride and corrosive sublimate). Both these
agents, carbolic acid and mercuric chloride are corrosive.
After applying the gauze, soaked in either carbolic acid or mercuric
chloride, to the lesions, they were covered with more gauze. Being
tightly wrapped with gauze, the exudate from the vesicle or papule was
retained in the lesion and not allowed to drain away when it ruptured.
Naturally, bacteria are going to invade this lesion to clean up the excreted
matter.
This corrosive treatment also destroyed living tissues including the
protective phagocytic white blood cells and the surrounding skin and subcutaneous
tissues. A high second fever was urgently needed to once again begin
warfare on the extraneous poisons and the invading bacteria.
Either of the two corrosive drugs used can now ooze its way into the
vital domain and impede normal function of all the cells in the body; while
completely annihilating many. Ugly black confluent pustules mar the
skin. The rash gets worse. Vesicles turn into pustules.
The pustules become swollen and more inflamed. The inflammation
around them spreads and the lesions fuse together. These pathological
effects were caused by the drugs.
It is clear that the condition worsens because of the treatment. The
primary symptoms, i.e. the fever, chills, headache, and backache were
suppressed by pharmaceuticals. The stifling of symptoms with medication
prevented the body from completing its job of cleansing, and increased
the internal toxemia. As a result, the umbilicated blisters with
clear fluid in them became pustules filled with dead and dying tissues and
white blood cells. The change to a pustule is the direct result of
the damaging effects of medications whether taken internally or applied
to the skin. It is incredible that the physicians did not recognize
the lethality of their practice. But, then, they do not recognize it
today either. They are blinded by bygone theories.
These substances may have killed microorganisms but they also killed
human tissues and in reality caused the pustules and all the terrible
complications and symptoms thought to be caused by the germ. Let
me emphasize, the symptoms thought to be smallpox are symptoms caused by
the treatment. They were so yesterday just as they are today and
always will be in the future as long as we insist on clinging to the idea
that disease is something "caught" and that symptoms must be gotten rid
of by unnatural means. As long as we try to eradicate disease with
anything, and especially man-made chemicals, we will suffer more than if
we merely put up with the symptoms.
All the various treatments to kill microbes which are "causing" the
disease, are killing the patient. They are not permitting the body
to eliminate toxins or restore the blood and tissues to their normal healthy
condition. All treatments, no matter how benign they are claimed
to be, impede the recovery process itself. By using treatments of
any kind and getting rid of a rash by rash means, or to doctor it in any
way, is the disastrous blunder that causes horrible side-effects, more disease
and even death.
Hemorrhagic or what is known as "black smallpox" is an even more serious
type of smallpox and the patient often died. Again, this serious type
of smallpox was directly caused by the cell-killing drugs. Pustules
often developed in the throat and mouth. When an acidic drug is placed
on living tissues, it kills them. The skin and mucous membranes are
already inflamed and are less protective than normal skin. Therefore,
the destructive acids can be absorbed and cause greater internal toxemia.
Carbolic acid or mercuric chloride caused the hemorrhaging of the
skin and also hemorrhaging into the pustule. Either of the corrosive
drugs also destroyed the kidney cells and caused bloody urine noted in many
hapless smallpox patients.
There were also many serious complications of this type of treatment
in addition to the common ordinary ones that were erroneously thought
to be symptoms of smallpox, but we won't go into them now.
From time immemorial people have been frightened of disease.
It was a curse, an evil spirit, or evil demon that caused the problem.
Also from time immemorial people have thought it necessary to exorcize
the disease, to placate and appease the evil spirit or demon, to give sacrifices
to some god in order to get the demon or evil spirit out of them.
In modern times we do the same. We have not grown in knowledge.
We just put the evil spirits in the magician's top hat and pulled out the
evil germs and evil viruses. We still exorcize, placate, appease,
and eradicate the evil microbe or evil virus. Whatever symptoms we
have, they are felt to be extraneous, foreign and not from us, so they must
be eradicated or extirpated. We still fear death from the simplest of diseases.
Whatever it is, it must be extirpated or eradicated. We do it not with incantations
but with substances much more evil than anything used in the past.
Hygienic Care If Hygienic care had been resorted to in the beginning
of smallpox no complications would have occurred and there would rarely
be a genuine pustule. With Hygienic management the disease would not
have to progress to the second stage with pustules or a second fever.
It would only become pustular if the individual prevented drainage of the
vesicle and continued eating a heavy diet. The vesicles containing
the unwanted debris that was in the organs and tissues would burst.
The clear fluid containing the toxic substances would flow out onto the skin.
Frequent warm sponge baths would wash away all the poisonous debris.
The inflammation of the skin would heal and that would be the end of the
disease. There would be no horrendous pustules, or other complications
brought about by the medications.
If individuals kept themselves clean, but did not take off the scabs
until they fell off naturally, there would be no unsightly pock-marks.
People are always too anxious to pull scabs away. To do so is to expose
the lesion to the atmosphere before the skin has completely healed below
it. The skin then has to quickly heal over before it has completed restoring
the underlying tissues. his, naturally leaves a pit or scar. The extensive
boils and gangrene that regularly occurred would not have taken place had
no corrosive drugs been used.
If you think those symptoms are bad, and that we do not use any medicine
so lethal as corrosive sublimate and carbolic acid today, you'd better
rethink the problem. Today's drugs are even more lethal because they are
designed to be easily absorbed, and to spread to every tissue and cell in
the body and kill cells all over the body. Do not put your hope in
medical "care". The only care you need is a healthy body and to let
it do its thing.
You do not have to fear smallpox, even if you should develop it, as
long as you immediately quit eating and go to bed and rest, drinking pure
water only when thirsty. Smallpox is a disease of the bon-vivant,
epicurean, who overeats on a daily basis, especially on animal foods.
The condition of enervation is built by anyone who does not secure sufficient
rest and sleep to permit the elimination of endogenic and exogenic toxins,
and for the restoration of the nervous system. Once the stage of enervation
is established digestion is further impaired and the body is flooded with
fermentation and decomposition products from the intestines. This is
what is called Toxemia, and Toxicosis. Toxicosis makes it exigent and
imperative that these toxins be eliminated immediately by extraordinary means,
such as through the skin.
Every single cell in your body is capable of eliminating and destroying
various microorganisms and their waste products, as well as man-made organic
products, but most man-made products are more toxic than those made by
bacteria and they cause more damage than bacterial waste products.
It can be disastrous when the body is overwhelmed by substances that do
not belong inside it, and which the body cannot use under any circumstance
of life. And this is what happens when diseases are "treated." Your
body is inundated with toxic substances and it may drown.

Two of the aircraft exceeded their software limits on 9/11. The
Boeing 757 and 767 are equipped with fully autonomous flight capability,
they are the only two Boeing commuter aircraft capable of fully autonomous
flight. They can be programmed to take off, fly to a destination
and land, completely without a pilot at the controls.
They are intelligent planes, and have software limits pre set so that
pilot error cannot cause passenger injury. Though they are physically
capable of high g maneuvers, the software in their flight control systems
prevents high g maneuvers from being performed via the cockpit controls.
They are limited to approximately 1.5 g's, I repeat, one and one half
g's. This is so that a pilot mistake cannot end up breaking grandma's
neck.
No matter what the pilot wants, he cannot override this feature.
The plane that hit the Pentagon approached or reached its actual physical
limits, military personnel have calculated that the Pentagon plane pulled
between five and seven g's in its final turn.
The same is true for the second aircraft to impact the WTC.
There is only one way this can happen.
As well as fully autonomous flight capability, the 767 and 757 are
the ONLY COMMUTER PLANES MADE BY BOEING THAT CAN BE FLOWN VIA REMOTE CONTROL.
It is a feature that is standard to all of them, all 757's and 767's can
do it. The purpose for this is if there is a problem with the pilots,
Norad can fly the planes to safe destinations via remote. Only in
this flight mode can those craft exceed their software limits and perform
to their actual physical limits because a pre existing emergency situation
is assumed if this mode of flight is used.
Terrorists in fact did not fly those planes, it is totally and completely
impossible for those planes to have been flown in such a manner from the
cockpit. Those are commuter aircraft, not F-16's and their software
knows it.
Another piece of critical evidence: the voice recorders came up blank.
The flight recorders that were recovered had tape that was undamaged
inside, but it was blank. There is only one way this can happen
on a 757 or 767. When the aircraft are commandeered via remote control,
the microphones that go to the cockpit voice recorder are re routed to
the people doing the remote controlling, so that the recording of what
happened in the cockpit gets made in a presumably safer place. But
due to a glitch in the system on a
757/767, rather than shutting off when the mic is redirected the
voice recorder keeps running. The voice recorders use what is called
a continuous loop tape, which automatically re passes itself past the erase
and record heads once every half hour, so after a half hour of running with
the microphones redirected, the tape will be blank. Just like the
recovered tapes were. Yet more proof that no pilot flew those planes
in the last half hour.
Eight of the hijackers who were on those planes called up complaining
that they were still alive. I'd bet you never heard about our foreign
minister flying to Morocco and issuing an official apology to the accused,
did you? No, terrorists did not fly those planes, plastic knives
and box cutters were in fact too ridiculous to be true. Any of the
remaining accused have certainly been sought out and killed by now.
Our information IS controlled The cell phone calls from the aircraft
could not have happened. I am a National Security Agency trained
Electronic Warfare specialist, and am qualified to say this. My official
title: MOS33Q10, Electronic Warfare Intercept Strategic Signal Processing/Storage
Systems Specialist, a highly skilled MOS which requires advanced knowledge
of many communications methods and circuits to the most minute level.
I am officially qualified to place severe doubt that ordinary cell phone
calls were ever made from the aircraft.
It was impossible for that to have happened, especially in a rural
area for a number of reasons.
When you make a cell phone call, the first thing that happens is that
your cell phone needs to contact a transponder. Your cell phone has
a max transmit power of five watts, three watts is actually the norm.
If an aircraft is going five hundred miles an hour, your cell phone will
not be able to 1. Contact a tower, 2. Tell the tower who you
are, and who your provider is, 3. Tell the tower what mode it wants
to communicate with, and 4. Establish that it is in a roaming area
before it passes out of a five watt range. This procedure, called an
electronic handshake, takes approximately 45 seconds for a cell phone to
complete upon initial power up in a roaming area because neither the cell
phone or cell transponder knows where that phone is and what mode it uses
when it is turned on. At 500 miles an hour, the aircraft will travel
three times the range of a cell phone's five watt transmitter before this
handshaking can occur. Though it is sometimes possible to connect during
takeoff and landing, under the situation that was claimed the calls were
impossible. The calls from the airplane were faked, no ifs, ands or
buts.
(sms: one call to a mother of one of the passengers, says, Hi Mother,
it's Ron Howard (don't recall his name right now, but that is not what's
important, but who calls his mother and gives his LAST NAME?)!!!!!!!
I hope I made sense, if you have questions I will respond if possible.
If I do not respond, please research this out yourself, search the Boeing
site, search the DARPA site, search where you have not searched before.
Some of the information is classified and leaked by individuals, and it
is also being scoured from the net. I have all of the original documents
on my computer to safeguard against this.
Please do not ignore this, because only Norad has the flight codes
for those aircraft, we did 911 to ourselves. Hitler had the Reichstag,
we have 911. If 911 proves to not be enough to make the US citizenry
set aside its rights for safety, the people who did 911 most certainly have
access to nuclear material. 911 must be exposed for what it was before
that material is used."

The stone box first caused a stir in religious circles when it was
revealed it may have held the bones of Jesus's brother. Now, scholars are
asking: could 'James, the son of Joseph' also be the son of Mary? Bob
Harvey reports.
Bob Harvey The Ottawa Citizen Sunday, November 24, 2002 TORONTO - The
discovery of a limestone box believed to have held the bones of Jesus's
brother James may force a re-evaluation of key Christian beliefs, including
the Catholic doctrine that Mary was a perpetual virgin, scholars at a mammoth
religious studies conference in Toronto said yesterday.
"Many Christians didn't know that the Son of God could have a brother,"
said Herschel Shanks, the editor of the Biblical Archeological Review,
which broke the story last month.
The burial box, known as an ossuary, is inscribed with words in Aramaic,
the language of first-century Israel, saying "James, son of Joseph, brother
of Jesus."
Experts among the 8,000 biblical scholars here for meetings of the
American Academy of Religion and related biblical and archeological societies
say although it is impossible to be certain, the odds are high that the ossuary
did once contain James' bones.
The New Testament makes several references to James as the brother
of Jesus, and to Jesus's brothers and sisters, while one Christian tradition
suggests Jesus had four brothers and two sisters.
But the major Christian churches differ on how to interpret the relationship
between Jesus and the relatives mentioned in the Bible.
The Catholic church teaches that Mary conceived a child by a divine
miracle and was a perpetual virgin. It also interprets the Biblical
passages about Jesus's brothers and sisters as referring to cousins of
Jesus.
The Eastern Orthodox churches' view is that Jesus's siblings are Joseph's
children from an earlier marriage.
Many Protestants believe that James is the full brother of Jesus and
their other siblings, whom tradition says were named Mary, Salome, Joseph,
Simon and Jude.
Oded Golan, the Israeli high-tech entrepreneur who found the limestone
burial box near Jerusalem more than two decades ago, told a panel discussion
yesterday that he plans eventually to send the small remaining fragments
of what may be James' bones for DNA testing.
But he said that will not resolve the question of the blood relationship
between Jesus and James, since there are no other known relics of members
of Jesus's family. "There is nothing to compare them to," he said.
Mr. Golan has been collecting biblical antiquities since he discovered
the oldest known dictionary as a child, and now owns the most important
biblical archeological collection in Israel. That includes 30 of the
burial boxes known as ossuaries.
But he says he ignored the burial box of Jesus's brother for decades
because it was the least impressive in his collection.
He realized the importance of the ossuary only after a French expert
in ancient inscriptions, André Lemaire, saw the ossuary.
The Geological Survey of Israel then was called in to test samples from
the ossuary, and said there was no reason to doubt its authenticity.
Mr. Shanks said the discovery "is having an enormous effect around
the world."
"It is something visual binding us together over a 2,000-year period.
It also focuses us on real life at the time of Jesus," he said during
a panel discussion at the Royal Ontario Museum.
The ossuary was rushed from Israel to the downtown Toronto museum for
its public debut, in order to give the largest annual meeting of biblical
scholars a chance to examine it.
James is known to have been martyred in 62 A.D. for refusing
to deny that Jesus was the Messiah that Jews still expect today.
The Pharisees among the Jews of the time believed that someday the
dead would be bodily resurrected. Because of that, they placed corpses
in a tomb until the flesh disintegrated, and the bones could be placed in
a ossuary to await the resurrection.
Ben Witherington, of the Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky, told
the audience at the museum: "If the ossuary is authentic, we will need to
re-evaluate and re-emphasize the Jewishness of the early Christians."

Sun's rays to roast Earth as poles flip Robin McKie, science editor
Sunday November 10, 2002 The Observer Earth's magnetic field - the force
that protects us from deadly radiation bursts from outer space - is weakening
dramatically.
Scientists have discovered that its strength has dropped precipitously
over the past two centuries and could disappear over the next 1,000 years.
The effects could be catastrophic. Powerful radiation bursts,
which normally never touch the atmosphere, would heat up its upper layers,
triggering climatic disruption. Navigation and communication satellites,
Earth's eyes and ears, would be destroyed and migrating animals left unable
to navigate.
'Earth's magnetic field has disappeared many times before - as a prelude
to our magnetic poles flipping over, when north becomes south and vice versa,'
said Dr Alan Thomson of the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh.
'Reversals happen every 250,000 years or so, and as there has not been
one for almost a million years, we are due one soon.' For more than 100
years, scientists have noted the strength of Earth's magnetic field has been
declining, but have disagreed about interpretations. Some said its
drop was a precursor to reversal, others argued it merely indicated some temporary
variation in field strength has been occurring.
But now Gauthier Hulot of the Paris Geophysical Institute has discovered
Earth's magnetic field seems to be disappearing most alarmingly near the
poles, a clear sign that a flip may soon take place.
Using satellite measurements of field variations over the past 20 years,
Hulot plotted the currents of molten iron that generate Earth's magnetism
deep underground and spotted huge whorls near the poles.
Hulot believes these vortices rotate in a direction that reinforces
a reverse magnetic field, and as they grow and proliferate these eddies
will weaken the dominant field: the first steps toward a new polarity, he
says.
And as Scientific American reports this week, this interpretation has
now been backed up by computer simulation studies.
How long a reversal might last is a matter of scientific controversy,
however. Records of past events, embedded in iron minerals in ancient
lava beds, show some can last for thousands of years - during which time
the planet will have been exposed to batterings from solar radiation.
On the other hand, other researchers say some flips may have lasted only
a few weeks.
Exactly what will happen when Earth's magnetic field disappears prior
to its re-emergence in a reversed orientation is also difficult to assess.
Compasses would point to the wrong pole - a minor inconvenience.
More importantly, low-orbiting satellites would be exposed to electromagnetic
batterings, wrecking them.
In addition, many species of migrating animals and birds - from swallows
to wildebeests - rely on innate abilities to track Earth's magnetic field.
Their fates are impossible to gauge.
As to humans, our greatest risk would come from intense solar radiation
bursts. Normally these are contained by the planet's magnetic field
in space. However, if it disappears, particle storms will start
to batter the atmosphere.
'These solar particles can have profound effects,' said Dr Paul Murdin,
of the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge. 'On Mars, when its magnetic
field failed permanently billions of years ago, it led to its atmosphere
being boiled off. On Earth, it will heat up the upper atmosphere
and send ripples round the world with enormous, unpredictable effects on
the climate.' It is unlikely that humans could do much. Burrowing
thousands of miles into solid rock to set things right would stretch the
technological prowess of our descendants to bursting point, though such
limitations do not worry film scriptwriters.
Paramount's latest sci-fi thriller, The Core - directed by Englishman
Jon Amiel, and starring Hilary Swank and Aaron Eckhart - depicts a world
beset by just such a polar reversal, with radiation sweeping the planet.
The solution, according to the film, to be released next year, involves
scientists drilling into Earth's mantle to set off a nuclear blast that
will halt the reversal.
Given that temperatures at such depths rival those of the Sun's surface,
such a task would seem impossible - except, of course, in Hollywood.

New thinking needed on atmospheric physics, study suggests
Balloon experiments reveal new information about sprites HOUSTON, Oct.
14, 2002 – An atmospheric phenomenon called "sprites" could be pumping 50
times more energy into the upper atmosphere than was previously thought,
suggesting our understanding of the global atmosphere is incomplete, according
to University of Houston space physicists.
Sprites are large, brief flashes of light that occur very high in the
atmosphere above large thunderstorms. Instead of discharging toward
the earth like lightning, sprites soar upward above a thunderstorm and occur
immediately following strong lightning strokes.
University of Houston physics professors Edgar Bering and James Benbrook,
along with their students, collected sprite data during a balloon campaign
in the summer of 1999 when several balloons equipped with special detectors
flew high into the atmosphere – around 20 miles up – over Texas and Iowa.
The experiments were intended to study the electromagnetic signature of
the lightning strokes that produce sprites.
"One of the more interesting things we discovered is that every lightning
stroke tries to produce a sprite in the sense that it produces a similar
but weaker electrodynamic pulse in the mesosphere," Bering says.
The layers of the atmosphere consist of the troposphere, which extends
from the ground to about nine miles up; the stratosphere, beginning just
above the troposphere and extending to 31 miles high; the mesosphere, extending
from the stratosphere to 53 miles high; and the thermosphere, extending
beyond the mesosphere to about 372 miles.
Previous research has shown that most sprites are produced by positive
cloud to ground lightning strokes, which are more rare than negative cloud
to ground lightning strokes, Bering says. Negative cloud to ground
lightning strokes are initiated by a large concentration of negative charge
in the cloud base, which tends to induce an area of positive charge on
the ground, resulting in a discharge of electricity – lightning.
A positive lightning stroke is exactly the opposite, with a positive charge
concentration in the cloud inducing a negatively charged area on the ground.
Bering and his colleagues also found that negative cloud to ground
strokes produce a phenomenon that is not often observed from the ground,
termed a sprite halo, which is basically a sprite precursor.
"We discovered that seven to ten times as many negative cloud to ground
strokes produce sprite halos as do positive cloud to ground strokes.
That, coupled with the fact that every cloud to ground stroke, positive
or negative, tries to produce a sprite or sprite halo, indicates that the
amount of energy being deposited in the mesosphere by these sprite processes
and related processes exceeds what we thought the sprites did by a factor
of 50."
Bering says that amount of energy is comparable to the amount of energy
the sun pumps into that same volume of atmosphere above the thunderstorm
in daylight hours.
Bering will present an invited talk on the research findings at the
World Space Congress 2002, to be held Oct. 10-19 in Houston.
The closest the balloon flights got to sprite-producing thunderstorms
was about 300 kilometers, or 186 miles, which limited the amount of useful
data the scientists could collect, Bering says. He cautions that
the experiments need to be repeated because the results depended only on
observations from a few storms. However, he says the results of the
balloon flights indicate our understanding of the mesosphere is incomplete.
"It means we actually have at certain times and latitudes about a factor
of two discrepancy in the energy budget of the mesosphere. From the
standpoint of global understanding of the atmosphere as a whole, a factor
of two in an energy budget is nontrivial," Bering says.
While the mesosphere does not directly affect weather on earth, and
the altitude is too high for precipitation-producing clouds, some researchers
are attempting to use mesospheric weather as a tracker for global temperature
change.
Bering says the 1999 data suggests two avenues for future studies.
"We need to get closer to the storms, which requires both more balloons
and also is a matter of luck, and put additional data collection equipment
on board the balloons," he says.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration funded the 1999 balloon
flights.
Bering has submitted a proposal to NASA for additional balloon studies
of sprites.
In January, Bering will begin a study of phenomena other than sprites
when he sends three balloons into the air over Antarctica to investigate
the electrodynamics of the polar ionosphere.

Subterranean Tunnels & the Hollow Earth My Search for Tunnels
in the Earth Part One From "World Explorer", Vol. 2, No. 3. by
David Hatcher Childress All are architects of fate, Working the walls of
time:
Some with massive deeds and great; Some with lesser rhyme.-Longfellow,
"The Builders"
What if I told you that I had been inside a fantastic tunnel system
that runs beneath the continent of South America? Would you think
me a liar? Or worse yet, insane? Though I admit it is a story
that seems difficult to believe, I am telling the truth.
Read on, dear reader, and decide if I am mad or lying.
Although it seems incredible, there is a great deal of evidence to
show that a network of ancient tunnels exists throughout much of South America.
Legends abound on this tunnel system, and I can state that I have even been
inside some of the tunnels on this strangest of continents.
The Gold of the Incas Legends of tunnels in South America surfaced
almost immediately after the conquest when the Spaniards discovered that
the Incas had hidden much of their treasure-sacred relics of pure gold either
beneath the Inca capital of Cuzco or in a secret city known as Paititi.
Either way, legend had it that a tunnel system was used.
The history of the conquest of the Inca Empire by the Spanish is one
of the most bizarre and incredible stories of history. That Francisco
Pizarro with only 183 men could conquer a sophisticated empire of several
million people is a feat that has never been equaled, and probably never
will be!
Pizarro made his first expedition down the Pacific Coast from Panama
in 1527, attracted by rumors of gold and other treasure. A Greek
of his company went alone from the ship into an Inca village on the coast,
and was taken to be a returning god by the natives. They brought him
to a temple filled with more gold than he had seen in his life. Returning
to the ship, he told Pizarro about the fabulous wealth he had seen.
Satisfied that the rumors were true, Pizarro returned to Panama and then
to Spain to prepare another expedition. He set out again in 1531,
landed on a lonely beach in Ecuador and began marching inland. He
was entering the newly united Inca empire, which had just recovered from
a civil war. The people of Peru, Bolivia, and rest of the Inca empire
were not all true Incas, but largely Quechua and Aymara Indians. Incas
were the ruling elite, of a different race, who believed themselves descended
from "MancoCapac," a red-haired, bearded messenger from God.
After taking the town of Tumbez and putting quite of few of the people
to death, the Spanish conquistadors continued their march south.
At Cajamarca, they were received by Inca royalty with great pomp, splendor,
and gifts. The ruler of the Incas (or more correctly, "the Inca")
Atahualpa was impressed by their beards and white skin, believing them tof
ulfill a prophecy about the return of Viracocha, the legendary bearded prophet
from a far away land who had visited the South American peoples many hundreds
of years before. American Indians have no facial hair, though the first
Incas are said to have had reddish-brown hair and beards, like Viracocha.
Therefore, Atahualpa believed that the Spanish were Incas themselves, Sons
of the Sun, gods in their own right, just as he, the Inca, was a god.
The conquistadors remained in Cajamarca for a time, while the Inca
showered them with gifts. In fact, the Incas believed that the horses
ridden by the Spaniards were also men, and assumed by the way the horses
constantly chewed on their bits that these were the horses' fodder.
The Incas would put bars of gold and silver in the horses' feeding troughs,
saying, "Eat this, it is much better than iron." The Spaniards found this
quite amusing, and encouraged the Indians to keep bringing gold and silver
for the horses to eat!
Finally, Atahualpa himself came to the Spaniards from his nearby palace.
During this audience inside the walls of Cajamarca, Atahualpa had with him
no less than 30,000 men, all under strict command not to harm the Spaniards,
even if they themselves were attacked. This prohibition proved to
be their downfall. The conquistadors kept many of their men in hiding,
ready to attack, as Pizarro and his generals with the Dominican friar Vincente
de Valverde had their audience with Atahualpa in the townsquare. The Inca
welcomed them as Viracocha Incas and fellow Sons of the Sun. Then
the friar Valverde addressed the Inca, telling him about the one true faith,
and the most powerful men on earth, the Pope and King Charles of Spain.
After a long speech translated by the Indian Felipe, the Inca asked the
source of the friar's material, who responded by handing the Inca a Bible.
The Inca placed it to his ear. Hearing nothing, he threw it to
the ground.
This rather un-pious gesture from Atahualpa was just what the conquistadors
were waiting for. The Spaniards attacked in full force, many from
hiding, and began a slaughter of the Incas. They killed literally
thousands, many of whom were trying to escape. Not one conquistador
was hurt, with the exception of Francisco Pizarro himself, who was wounded
by one of his own men as he reached for Atahualpa.
And so was Atahualpa kidnapped by a mere 160 gold-crazed conquistadors
(some of the original 183 had died of disease and in earlier battles).
To secure his freedom, Atahualpa offered to give the Spaniards gold in
exchange for his release. Sensing that they still did not realize the fabulous
wealth at his command, Atahualpa stood up in the room in which he was imprisoned
and reached as high as he could; he offered to fill the room with gold
to that height in return for his release. The Spaniards agreed.
Complicating the story at this point were several intrigues.
First, there was a great rivalry between Francisco Pizarro, his brother Ferdinand,
and Don Diego de Almagro. Indeed, Francisco Pizarro and de Almagro
were bitter enemies. Second, Atahualpa was still at odds with his brother
Huascar, who by many accounts was the legitimate heir to the Inca throne.
It had been the civil war between the two brothers that had weakened the
Inca Empire just prior to the arrival of the Spanish. While he was
still in captivity, Atahualpa ordered Huascar arrested, believing him to
be plotting a takeover of the Empire. Both Atahualpa and Huascar now
took a rather fatalistic attitude to the events taking place, as their father
had predicted such a conflict before his death.
Third, most of the subjects of the Inca Empire were not Incas, but
common Indians of entirely different races and cultural heritages.
Few were loyal to the Incas, and many of them eventually sided with the Spanish.
Finally, again from captivity, Atahualpa ordered his brother Huascar killed,
thinking this would save the empire from him, believing that the Spaniards
may not release him even after the ransom was paid. All of these factors
together set the stage for the fall of the greatest civilization extant
in the Western Hemisphere at the time.
It took some time for the gold to reach Cajamarca, as it had to be
brought from Quito, Cuzco, and other cities that were hundreds of miles away.
While the ransom was being gathered, Pizarro sent some of the conquistadors
as emissaries to Quito and Cuzco to ensure that Atahualpa had not ordered
an assault on Cajamarca. When they returned, they reported that fabulous
wealth was to be found in these cities. The Incas did not use gold,
silver, and precious stones for currency as Europeans and other cultures
did. Instead, they were valued for decoration, and used extensively
for religious objects, furnishings, and even utensils. Many buildings
had interior gold-lined walls, and exterior gold rain gutters and plumbing.
Therefore, when the Inca was ransomed for a roomfull of gold, to the
Incas it was as if they were paying with pots and pans, old plumbing, and
rain gutters!
These were sent gladly, though religious objects and those with esthetic
value were not.
The ransom paid has been estimated to have been 600-650 tons of gold
and jewels and 384 million "pesos de oro," the equivalent of $500,000,000
in 1940. Given the rise in the price of gold since then, today that ransom
would be worth almost five billion dollars.
Not surprisingly, once the ransom was paid, Atahualpa was not released.
The Indian interpreter, Felipe, had fallen in love with one of Atahualpa's
wives, and he was keen to see that the Inca did not survive. He
spread the rumor that Atahualpa was raising an army to storm Cajamarca.
This being the only excuse the Spaniards needed to execute the Inca, he
was condemned to death. Spaniards who had befriended Atahualpa advised
him to convert to Christianity before his execution, which would allow the
Dominical fathers to strangle him as a Christian rather than burn him at
the stake as a heretic. He complied, was baptized, then strangled.
This was done even though more gold was on its way, as part of a second
ransom, worth much more than the first.
Meanwhile, three Spanish emissaries came back from Cuzco, the Inca
capital, with even more treasure, looted from the Sun Temple. They
brought an immense cargo of gold and silver vessels loaded on the backs of
200 staggering, sweating Indians.
And the second ransom train of 11,000 llamas was on its way to Pizarro's
camp. Loaded with gold, it had been sent by Atahualpa's queen from
Cuzco. But when they heard of the Inca's assassination, the Indians
drove the llamas off the road and buried the 100 pounds of gold that each
animal carried.
Sir Clements Markham, who had a particularly keen knowledge of Peru,
believed that the gold was hidden in the mountains behind Azangaro.
The Cordillera de Azangaro is a wild sierra little known to foreigners,
the name in Quechua meaning, "place farthest away." It is believed that
this was the easternmost point in the Andean cordilleras which the old
Inca empire dominated. However, other versions of this story say
that the treasure was hidden in a system of tunnels that goes through the
Andes.
One fantastic treasure story involves "The Garden of the Sun." Sarmiento,a
Spanish historian (1532-1589), wrote that this subterranean garden was
located near the Temple of the Sun. "They had a garden in which the
lumps of earth were pieces of fine gold. These were cleverly sown
with maize the stalks, leaves and ears of which were all of gold.
They were so well planted that nothing would disturb them. Besides
all this, they had more than twenty sheep with their young. The shepherds
who guarded the sheep were armed with slings and staves made of gold.
There were large numbers of jars of gold and silver pots, vases, and every
kind of vessel."
Shortly after the conquest of Peru, Cieza de Leon, part Inca and part
Spanish, wrote, "If all the gold that is buried in Peru ...were collected,
it would be impossible to coin it, so great the quantity; and yet the
Spaniards of the conquest got very little, compared with what remains.
The Indians said, 'The treasure is so concealed that even we, ourselves,
know not the hiding place!' "If, when the Spaniards entered Cuzco they had
not committed other tricks, and had not so soon executed their cruelty in
putting Atahualpa to death, I know not how many great ships would have been
required to bring such treasures to old Spain as is now lost in the bowels
of the earth and will remain so because those who buried it are now dead."
What Cieza de Leon did not say was that, although the Indians as a whole
did not know where this treasure lay, there were a few among them who did
know and closely guarded the secret.
After seeing the fineness of the treasures in Atahualpa's first ransom,
Pizarro had demanded that he be shown the source of this fabulous wealth
before he would release the Inca. He had heard that the Incas possessed
a secret and inexhaustible mine or depository, which lay in a vast, subterranean
tunnel running many miles underground.
Here were supposedly kept the accumulated riches of the country.
However, legend has it that Atahualpa's queen consulted the Black Mirror
at the Temple of the Sun, a sort of magic mirror similar to that in the
story of Snow White. In it she saw the fate of her husband, whether
she paid the ransom or not. She realized that her husband and the
empire were doomed and that she must certainly not reveal the secret of
the tunnels or wealth to the gold crazed conquistadors.
The horrified queen ordered that the entrance to the great tunnel be
closed under the direction of the priests and magicians. A large door
into a rocky wall of a cliff gorge near Cuzco, it was sealed by filling
its depths with huge masses of rock. Then the disguised entrance was
hidden under green grass and bushes, so that not the slightest sign of any
fissure was perceptible to the eye.
Conquistadors, adventurers, treasure hunters, and historians have all
wondered about and pursued this legend. What incredible treasure did
the Incas seal into these tunnels? And as to the tunnels themselves,
when and how were they made, and where do they go?
Researchers like Harold Wilkins believed that the tunnels run from
the central Andes around Cuzco for hundreds of miles north and south through
the mountains, as far as Chile and Ecuador. Wilkins believed that there
were other spurs of these tunnels that ran to the east, coming out at the
lost city of Paititi in the high jungle somewhere. Another spur was
said to run to the west, down to the coastal desert of Peru. This
spur of the tunnel system could have come out near Lima, the area of the
ancient Inca city of Pachacamac, or near Pisac and the Candlestick of the
Andes, which is further south along the coast.
Wilkins believed, as did apparently Madame Blavatsky (a well known
psychic and founder of The Theosophical Society), that a spur of the ancient
tunnel system came out in the Atacama Desert near to Arica and the current
border between Chile and Peru, which is further south still. Madame
Blavatsky related the story, retold by Wilkins, of the ancient treasure and
tunnel system.
Sometime around the year 1844, a Catholic priest was called to absolve
a dying Quechua Indian. Whispering quietly to the priest, the old
Indian told an amazing story about a labyrinth and a series of tunnels built
far before the days of the Inca emperors of the Sun. It was told under
the inviolable seal of the confessional, and could not be divulged by the
priest under pain of death. This story would probably never have been
told, except that the priest, while traveling to Lima, met with a "sinister
Italian." The priest let out a hint of great treasure, and was later supposedly
hypnotized by the Italian to get him tell the story!
"I will reveal to thee what no White man, be he Spaniard, or American,
or English, knows," the dying Indian had said to the priest. He
then told of the queen's closing of the tunnels when the Inca Atahualpa
was being held captive by Pizarro. The priest added under hypnosis
that the Peruvian government, in about 1830, had heard rumors of these tunnels
and sent an expedition out to find and explore them. They were unsuccessful.
In another similar story, the Father Pedro del Sancho tells in his
Relacion that in the early period of the conquest of Peru, another dying
Indian made a confession. Father del Sancho wrote, "...my informant
was a subject of the Incan Emperor. He was held in high esteem by those
in power at Cuzco. He had been a chieftain of his tribe and made a
yearly pilgrimage to Cuzco to worship his idolistic gods. It was a
custom of the Incas to conquer a tribe or nation and take their idols to
Cuzco. Those who wished to worship their ancient idols were forced to travel
to the Incan capital.
They brought gifts to their heathen idols. They were also expected
to pay homage to the Incan emperor during these journeys." Del Sancho
continues, "These treasures were placed in ancient tunnels that were in
the land when the Incas arrived. Also placed in these subterranean
repositories were artifacts and statues deemed sacred to the Incas.
When the hoard had been placed in the tunnels, there was a ceremony conducted
by the high priest. Following these rites, the entrance to the tunnels
was sealed in such a manner that one could walk within a few feet and never
be aware of the entrance.
"...My informant said that the entrance lay in his land, the territory
which he ruled. It was under his direction and by his subjects that
the openings were sealed. All who were in attendance were sworn
to silence under the penalty of death. Although I requested more information
on the exact location of the entrance, my informant refused to divulge
more than what has been written down here."
Another interesting story of the tunnels around Cuzco and the incredible
treasure they contain involves Carlos Inca, a descendant of an Inca emperor,
who had married a Spanish lady, Dona Maria Esquivel. His Castilian wife
thought that he was not ambitious enough, and that he did not keep her in
the style she deemed befitting her rank, or his descent. Poor Carlos was
plagued night and day by his wife's nagging, until late one night, he blindfolded
her and led her out into the patio of the hacienda. Under the cold
light of the stars, when all around were asleep and no unseen eye was on
the watch, he began to lead her by the shoulders. Although he was exposing
himself to many risks including torture and death at the hands of the Quechuas,
he proceeded to reveal his secret. He twirled her around three times,
then, assuming her disoriented, led her down some steps into a concealed
vault in or under Sacsayhuaman Fortress. When he removed her blinds,
her tongue was finally silenced. She stood on the dusty, stone floor
of an ancient vault, cluttered with gold and silver ingots, exquisite jewelry,
and temple ornaments. Around the walls, ranged in fine gold, were
life-size statues of long dead Inca kings. Only the golden Disk of
the Sun, which the old Incas treasured most, was missing.
Carlos Inca was supposedly one of the custodians of the secret hiding
place of Inca treasure that eluded the Spanish and other treasure seekers
for centuries. The U.S. Commissioner to Peru in 1870 commented
on this episode: "All I can say is if that secret chamber which she had
entered has not been found and despoiled, it has not been for want of digging
...Three-hundred years have not sufficed to eradicate the notion that enormous
treasures are concealed within the fortress of Cuzco. Nor have three-hundred
years of excavation, more or less constant, entirely discouraged the searchers
for tapadas, or treasure mounds."
There certainly appears to be some repetition and borrowing between
some of these stories. Yet most historians and archaeologists believe
that they are based on some fact. That tunnels and lost treasure
exists, there seems to be no doubt. But the real questions are, where
are they? And, who made them?
The treasure of the Incas is believed to still be hidden in the tunnels
that run under Cuzco and the ruins of the megalithic fortress mentioned
above called Sacsayhuaman.
The Fortress of Sacsayhuaman The stories of a subterranean world fascinated
me and I decided that South America was a good place to investigate whatever
reality there might be in the many legends. Lost treasure has its
appeal as well, and many tunnels would probably never be explored if it were
not for some promised treasure at the end.
I began my search in Peru where I visited Ica, Pisco and Nazca to
look at the mummies, geoglyphs and catacombs. I then continued on
to Cuzco to look into the tunnels that were rumored to be in the vicinity.
During this visit I went to Sacsayhuaman. The road leads up
from the Plaza de Armas to a hill on the north side of Cuzco. At a
leveling off of the hill, looking over the Cuzco Valley, is the colossal
fortress, one of the most imposing edifices ever constructed. Walking
around, we could hardly believe our eyes! Here was a stone structure
that covered the entire hill; it appeared almost unworldly. It contains
tunnel entrances that are sealed. The visitor can walk a short distance
inside some of the tunnels, but they are ultimately blocked after 20 or 30
feet.
All over Sacsayhuaman gigantic blocks of stone, some weighing more
than 200 tons (400 thousand pounds) are fitted together perfectly.
The enormous stone blocks are cut, faced, and fitted so well that even today
one cannot slip the blade of a knife, or even a piece of paper between them.
No mortar is used, and no two blocks are alike. Yet they fit perfectly,
and it has been said by some engineers that no modern builder with the aid
of tools of the finest steel could produce results more accurate.
Each individual stone had to have been planned well in advance; a 20-tonstone,
let alone one weighing 80 to 200 tons, cannot just be dropped casually into
position with any hope of attaining that kind of accuracy! The stones are
locked and dovetailed into position, making them earthquake-proof.
Indeed, after many devastating earthquakes in the Andes over the last few
hundred years, the blocks are still perfectly fitted, while the Spanish
Cathedral in Cuzco has been leveled twice.
Though this fantastic fortress was supposedly built just a few hundred
years ago by the Incas, they leave no record of having built it, nor does
it figure in any of their legends. How is it that the Incas, who
reportedly had no knowledge of higher mathematics, no written language,
no iron tools, and did not even use the wheel, are credited with having
built this cyclopean complex of walls and buildings? Frankly, one
must literally grope for an explanation, and it is not an easy one.
When the Spaniards first arrived in Cuzco and saw these structures,
they thought that they had been built by the devil himself, because of
their enormity. Indeed, nowhere else can you see such large blocks
placed together so perfectly. I have traveled all over the world searching
for ancient mysteries and lost cities, but I had never in my life seen anything
like this!
The builders of the stonework's were not merely good stone masons-
they were excellent!
Similar stonework's can be seen throughout the Cuzco Valley.
These are usually made up of finely cut, rectangular blocks of stone weighing
up to perhaps a ton. A group of strong people could lift a block and
put it in place; this is undoubtably how some of the smaller structures
were put together. But in Sacsayhuaman, Cuzco, and other ancient Inca
cities, one can see gigantic blocks cut with 30 or more angles each.
At the time of the Spanish conquest, Cuzco was at its peak, with perhaps
100,000 Inca subjects living in the ancient city. The fortress of
Sacsayhuaman could hold the entire population within its walls in case of
war or natural catastrophe. Some historians have stated that the fortress
was built a few years before the Spanish invasion, and that the Incas take
credit for the structure. But, the Incas could not recall exactly how
or when it was built!
The Spanish dismantled as much of Sacsayhuaman as they could.
When Cuzco was first conquered, Sacsayhuaman had three round towers at
the top of the fortress, behind three concentric megalithic walls.
These were taken apart stone by stone, and the stones used to build new
structures for the Spanish.
Sacsayhuaman was also equipped with a subterranean network of aqueducts.
Water was brought down from the mountains into a valley, then had to ascend
a hill before reaching Sacsayhuaman. This indicates that the engineers
who built the intricate system knew that water rises to its own level.
Garcilaso de la Vega, who wrote just after the conquest, said this
about the tunnels beneath Sacsayhuaman: "An underground network of passages,
which was as vast as the towers themselves, connected them with one another.
This was composed of a quantity of streets and alleyways which ran in
every direction, and so many doors, all of them identical, that the most
experienced men dared not venture into this labyrinth without a guide,
consisting of a long thread tied to the first door, which unwound as they
advanced. I often went up to the fortress with boys of my own age,
when I was a child, and we did not dare to go farther than the sunlight
itself, we were so afraid of getting lost, after all that the Indians had
told us on the subject ... the roofs of these underground passages
were composed of large flat stones resting on rafters jutting out from the
walls."
There are indeed tunnels that one may enter at Sacsayhuaman and nearby
Qenqo. If one walks behind the Inca's stone seat inside the fortress
toward Qenqo, one will find all sorts of bizarre stone cuttings, upside-down
staircases, and seemingly senseless rock carving on a grand scale.
There are also tunnel entrances in this area.
Various rock-cut tunnels lead down into the earth and at least one
goes to another part of the mountain area of Qenqo. All of these tunnels
are blocked at some point and this area of Sacsayhuaman is still being excavated
by Peruvian archaeologists.
The area is quite fascinating, but it seems quite clear that one cannot
penetrate into the tunnels beneath Cuzco from these now-blocked tunnel entrances.
The old chroniclers say the tunnels were connected with the Coricancha,
a name given to the Sun Temple and its surrounds in old Cuzco.
The Coricancha was originally larger than it is today and contained
many ancient temples, including the Temples of the Sun and the Moon, and
all of these buildings were believed to be connected with Sacsayhuaman
by underground tunnels. The place where these tunnels started was
known as the Chincana, or "the place where one gets lost." This entrance
was known up until the mid-1800s, when it was walled up.
Continued from part one:
In his book "Jungle Paths and Inca Ruins", Dr.William Montgomery
McGovern states:
"Near this fortress [Sacsayhuaman] are several strange caverns reaching
far into the earth. Here altars to the Gods of the Deep were carved
out of the living rock, and the many bones scattered about tell of the
sacrifices which were offered up here. The end of one of these caverns,
Chincana, has never been found. It is supposed to communicate by a
long underground passage with the Temple of the Sun in the heart of Cuzco.
In this cavern is supposed, and with good reason, to be hidden a large part
of the golden treasure of the Inca Emperors which was stored away lest it
fall into the hands of the Spaniards. But the cavern is so huge, so
complicated, and its passages are so manifold, that its secret has never
been discovered."
"One man, indeed, is said to have found his way underground to the
Sun Temple, and when he emerged, to have had two golden bars in his hand.
But his mind had been affected by days of blind wandering in the subterranean
caves, and he died almost immediately afterwards. Since that time
many have gone into the cavern-never to return again. Only a month
or two before my arrival the disappearance of three prominent people in this
Inca cave caused the Prefect of the Province of Cuzco to wall in the mouth
of the cavern, so that the secret and the treasures of the Incas seem likely
to remain forever undiscovered."
Another story, which may well be derived from the same source, tells
of a treasure hunter who went into the tunnels and wandered through the
maze for several days. One morning, about a week after the adventurer
had vanished, a priest was conducting mass in the church of Santo Domingo.
The priest and his congregation were astonished to hear sudden, sharp
rapping's from beneath the church's stone floor. Several worshipers
crossed themselves and murmured about the devil. The priest quieted
his congregation, then directed the removal of a large stone slab from the
floor (this was the converted Temple of the Sun!). The group was surprised
to see the treasure hunter emerge with a bar of gold in each hand.
Even the Peruvian government got into the act of exploring these Cuzco
tunnels, ostensibly for scientific purposes. The Peruvian Seria Documental
del Peru describes an expedition undertaken by staff from Lima University
in 1923. Accompanied by experienced speleologists, the party penetrated
the trapezoid-shaped tunnels starting from an entrance atCuzco.
They took measurements of the subterranean aperture and advanced in
the direction of the coast. After a few days, members of the expedition
at the entrance of the tunnel lost contact with the explorers inside,
and no communication came for twelve days. Then a solitary explorer
returned to the entrance starving. His reports of an underground
labyrinth of tunnels and deadly obstacles would make an Indiana Jones movie
seem tame by comparison. His tale was so incredible that his colleagues
declared him mad. To prevent further loss of life in the tunnels,
the police dynamited the entrance.
More recently, the big Lima earthquake of 1972 brought to light a tunnel
system beneath that coastal city. During salvage operations, workers
found long passages no one had ever known existed. The following systematic
examination of Lima's foundations led to the astonishing discovery that
large parts of the city were undercut by tunnels, all leading into the mountains.
But their terminal points could no longer be ascertained because they had
collapsed during the course of the centuries. Did the Cuzco tunnels
explored in 1923 lead to Lima? As farback as the 1940s, Harold Wilkins,
in his books ("Mysteries of Ancient South America" and "Secret Cities of
Old South America") wrote that they did.
Tunnels to the Hidden City of Paititi?
In my quest for the lost treasure of the Incas and the tunnel systems
associated with it, I joined up in the search for Paititi, the ultimate
lost city of the Incas according to Cuzco legends.
While the Incas placed some of their hoard in the Cuzco tunnel system
to hide it from the conquering Spanish, other treasure (including 14 gold-clad
mummies of the former Inca emperors removed from the Sun Temple) was sent
by llama caravan into the Antisuyo region of South America, the mountain
jungle area east of Cuzco. The caravan's destination was a mountain-jungle
city called "Paikikin" in Quechua which is supposed to mean "like the
other." The Spanish called this city El Gran Paititi.
It is well known that the Incan Empire at its height stretched from
north of Quito in Ecuador, south along the Andes and west to the coast,
all the way down into central Chile. What is not generally known is
just how far east the Incas had set up their roads, trade routes and cities.
The Incas did have a trade network that stretched eastward deep into the
jungles on the East Side of the Andes. Salt was frequently carried
across the mountains in exchange for gold and feathers. According to
Jorge Arellano, director of the Institute of Archaeology in La Paz, Bolivia,
Inca ruins have been found in the Bolivian state of Beni, which is several
hundred miles east of the Andes and in dense jungle. He says that a
series of small fortresses in the jungle form a line in an easterly direction.
He believes that the Incas used these fortresses as stop overs on their migration
from the Madre de Dios area of Peru, believed by some to be the site of
Paititi.
Though there is little doubt that Paititi did exist, there is a great
deal of myth surrounding this lost city. Harold Wilkins believes
that the Incas escaped from the Spanish after the battle of Ollantaytambo
by fleeing through a branch of the tunnel system discussed earlier, heading
east toward Paititi. This may well be true, though it was hardly necessary
for the Incas to have fled through a tunnel. They could have left
by canoe, then crossed the mountains using the excellent Inca roads.
Assuming this tunnel did exist, Wilkins thinks it went due east from
Cuzco, through the jungles, to the empire of Paititi. He indicates
that Paititi was a separate kingdom, ruled by mysterious white men whose
king was known as the "Tiger King." According to Wilkins, Paititi means
"jaguar." The Tiger King, or Jaguar King, lived in a white house by a great
lake.
In 1681, a Jesuit missionary named Fray Lucero wrote of information
given to him by Indians in the Rio Huallagu area of northeastern Peru.
They told him that the lost city of Gran Paititi lay behind the forests
and mountains east of Cuzco. The Jesuit wrote, "This empire of Gran Paytite
has bearded, white Indians. The nation called Curveros, these Indians
told me, dwell in a place called Yurachuasi or the 'white house.' For king,
they have a descendant of the Inca Tupac Amaru, who with 40,000 Peruvians,
fled far away into the forests, before the face of the conquistadors of
Francisco Pizarro's day in AD 1533.
He took with him a rich treasure, and the Castilians who pursued him
fought each other in the forests, leaving the savage Chuncho Indios, who
watched their internecine struggles, to kill off the wounded and shoot the
survivors with arrows. I myself have been shown plates of gold and
half-moons and ear-rings of gold that have come from this mysterious nation."
This story is independently documented in the book "Amazonas y El Maranon"
by Fray Manuel Rodriguez, published in 1684, according to Wilkins.
Many people seem to confuse Gran Paititi and El Dorado, though the
legends locate them thousands of miles apart. El Dorado is often believed
to be in the vicinity of the Orinoco River near the borders of Columbia,
Venezuela and Brazil. In early 1559, the Viceroy of Peru wanted to
rid his country of unemployed soldiers and troublesome Spanish adventurers,
so he sent a party of 370 Spaniards and thousands of Andean Indians on an
expedition down the Amazon in search of a legendary city of gold. This
expedition was an utter failure, during which the men mutinied, and a psychopathic
soldier, Lope de Aguirre, killed the leader Pedro de Ursua. Taking
over the expedition, he abandoned the search for "El Dorado," vowing to return
and conquer Peru itself. This wild and incredible adventure, during
which the women warriors known as Amazons were first reported, and the Amazon
River was first navigated, was made into a German movie called, Aguirre:
The Wrath of God.
This disastrous expedition was the beginning of the confusion between
El Dorado and Paititi, the real city of gold. It searched in an
area far removed from where Paititi appears to be located, and this is
why most adventurers after "El Dorado" searched in the vicinity of Columbia
and Venezuela instead of Peru, where the legends actually originated.
One adventurer who searched for Paititi was Pedro Bohorques, a penniless
soldier who pretended to be a nobleman. In 1659, after serving in
Chile, Bohorques became a wanderer. Calling himself Don Pedro el Inca,
he swore that royal Inca blood flowed through his veins. Bohorques
set himself up as emperor of an Indian kingdom at the headwaters of the Huallaga
River south of Cuzco. He converted almost 10,000 Pelados Indians into
his service, and declared all Spaniards fair game. He also sent some
of his followers on a search for Paititi, hoping to find the treasure.
When these men did not come back with gold, Bohorques left his empire
and went to Lima. Unfortunately, the Spaniards had heard of his
decree against them, threw him in prison, and sentenced him to death.
He pled for his life, promising to reveal the location of the Kingdom of
Gran Paititi if he was released. The judges refused his offer, but
many gold hunters visited him in prison, begging him to share his secret
with them. He refused, and went to the gallows in 1667, much to the
chagrin of the treasure hunters of Lima.
Actually, it is not likely that Bohorques knew the location of Paititi
(since his adventurers returned without gold), though he was in the correct
area, and may have learned the general location. Also, Paititi was
probably still a living city at this time, so it would have been difficult
for Bohorques or anyone else to enter.
Of course, the search for Gran Paititi still continues, and many explorers
feel that they are getting close. Today, many feel that Paititi is
somewhere in the Paucartambo area of Peru, east of Cuzco toward the Madre
de Dios River. This is the same area in which Fray Lucero indicated
that Gran Paititi could be found. Some expeditions, however, because
they either found the city or disturbed the Indians too much in their search,
end up dead. Boston anthropologist Gregory Deyermenjian and British
photographer Michael Mirecki mounted their own expedition into this area
in 1984. Their goal was a jungle mountain in eastern Peru called Apucatinti.
I accompanied Deyermenjian.
According to many sources, the mountain on which Paititi is located
is called Apucatinti, though exactly which mountain is really Apucatinti
is open for debate. The word means "Lord of the Sun" in Quechua,
and any mountain with this name (there are several) is a good candidate
for having Paititi on it.
As noted above, Paititi comes from the Quechua word "Paikikin" which
means "the same as the other" which has also been translated as "the same
as Cuzco." What could it mean, "The same as Cuzco?" Deyermenjian thinks
that this indicates Paititi is another stone city, similar in its construction
to that found at Cuzco and Sacsayhuaman; a megalithic city like Machu
Picchu.
On the other hand, it may mean that Paititi is like Cuzco in the sense
that it is the abode of the Inca kings, as Cuzco once was. If Paititi was
built from scratch by the retreating Inca royal fringe, then the ruins are
more likely to be similar to those found at Espiritu Pampa: small and unimpressive.
Machu Picchu also has part of a tunnel that can be found off the trail
on the northern part of the city.
Historically, Gran Paititi was not reported as being located on top
of a mountain, but rather by a lake. If these older reports are
correct, Paititi may be further into the jungles to the east or south.
Some researchers even believe that it may still be a living city, where
the Inca tradition is still carried on. Many areas, particularly
to the east, could have remained under Inca control for quite some time
after the Spanish conquest. Then again, Apucatinti may well be the site
of a long-dead Paititi. Demoralized and cut off from their former
empire, the surviving Incas could have existed on top of this remote mountain
in a self-sufficient city much like Machu Picchu, until they died out.
Deyermenjian backs this theory, and thinks that the city effectively died
about the year 1600, a mere 30 or 40 years after the Incas escaped to their
refuge there.
In June of 1986, I accompanied Greg Deyermenjian and a party of Peruvians
to scale the Apucatinti in Mameria. It took one week by horseback
to the edge of the jungle, and a further two weeks of living with Machiguenga
Indians in effort to scale the peak. We discovered Inca buildings,
ovens, tombs and coca plantations, as well as the first-ever structures
in the Madre de Dios district of Peru, but the ascent to the top of the
mountain was extremely difficult. The mountain has no fresh water,
and is covered in thick, almost impenetrable jungle. We ascended the
mountain for five days from the base, with Machiguenga Indians leading the
way. However, after running out of food and water, we had to return
to the Indian village.
In August of 1986, Deyermenjian returned to Mameria by himself, and
made it to the summit of Apucatinti with his Indian guides. To their
disappointment, neither Paititi nor any other structures were at the summit
of the mountain. It had been a false lead, but it had looked like
a good prospect. Deyermenjian continued to search for Paititi, focusing
on a nearby area that was even more remote than Mameria and Apucatinti.
It urned my attentions to Bolivia.
A Tunnel in Eastern Bolivia With several old friends from the World
Explorers Club, including Carl Hart, Steve Yenouskas, and Raul Fernandez,
I journeyed to Peru and Bolivia to discover what we could of the tunnels
in South America.
After a week in Peru, we set off one day from Cuzco for Tiahuanaco
and then to eastern Bolivia to the strange hilltop city of Samaipata.
I had visited Samaipata by myself in the mid-80s, and wrote about the strange
"fort" in my book "Lost Cities & Ancient Mysteries of South America".
At the time, I was the 153rd person to visit the site since it had been
opened to the public in 1974.
Erich von Daniken had visited the site in the early 70s and had described
it as a "rocket launching pad" for his alien visitors.
The site itself was bizarre enough: high on the summit of mountain
was a large outcrop of rock that had been cut into various rooms, channels,
pools, chairs, petroglyphs and odd, crisscross grooves.
The whole place was extremely ancient and worn, and apparently there
had once been walls and buildings that were now long gone. A large
jaguar was carved into the solid at the western end of the "fort." Was
Samaipata a cult center for the jaguar? Was it a mining city? Or
possibly a remotef ort on the eastern edge of the mountain highlands, watching
over the lower valleys to the east? No archaeologist has so far come
up with an answer to Samaipata, including who built the "city" and when.
On a National Geographic map of archaeological sites in South America that
I carried with me, Samaipata was not even listed.
The strangest part of Samaipata was a feature that was hidden in the
jungle about a 100 meters south of the main fort, a tunnel into the ground
that was called by the locals the Camino de la Chinchana, or the "Path of
the Subterranean."
The Camino de la Chinchana was a tunnel that began as a two-meter opening
to a pit that went straight down for about 6 meters. Once one had
made the first descent down to the floor of the pit, something that would
take a rope or a ladder, then one would find himself standing in a tunnel
that was high enough and wide enough for a man to stand without stooping.
This tunnel then descended downhill from the fort, apparently going in a
northwest direction.
According to the caretaker of Samaipata, the tunnel had been explored
once by Bolivian archaeologists who had entered the pit with a rope and
had advanced some 100 meters or more into the tunnel. The air became
stale and a small cave-in had blocked a portion of the tunnel. Without
proper breathing gear, the team was unable to advance any farther into the
earth.
The tunnel was clearly man-made, and at least around the entrance,
it was dug out of dirt, rather than cut out of solid rock. I asked
the caretaker of Samaipata where this tunnel was supposed to go. He
pointed to the north, across the valley, to a mountain about 15 kilometers
away. This mountain looked something like the back molar in a row of
teeth. "There", he said, pointing to the mountain, "there to La Muela el
Diablo, is where the archaeologists say that the tunnel goes.
On that mountain is supposed to be another city, just as here."
Using my dictionary, I translated La Muela el Diablo as "The Devil's
Dimple." This tunnel was said to run from the top of the mountain of Samaipata
down to the valley, beneath a river, and then up to a mountain on the other
side.
Carl, Steve, Raul and I made a brief search of the area around the
Devil's Dimple but could not find evidence of any lost city or of a tunnel
entrance. It was a cursory exploration that proved or disproved little.
Still the fact remained that the entrance to a bizarre man-made tunnel,
one that was apparently thousands of years old, existed at the weird ruins
of Samaipata.
Was it the entrance to a lost mine used thousands of years ago?
Was it a spur of the legendary tunnels near Cuzco? The thought that
one might be able to enter into a vast labyrinth of tunnels beneath the
Andes by entering the Camino tic la Chinchana was an exciting thought.
The entrance still exists at Samaipata, waiting for a bold adventurer with
the right equipment to discover its secrets. But for myself and Carl,
we were to continue on to Brazil and the even more intriguing tunnel entrance
at Sao Tome das Letras near Sao Paulo.
The Tunnel Beneath Sao Tome das Letras.
Our WEX team had to split up, with Steve and Raul returning to Peru
and the U.S. while Carl and I headed down to Corumba, the Bolivian
bordertown with Brazil. From there we took a bus through the Matto
Grosso to Sao Paulo, the largest city in South America.
In Sao Paulo Carl and I visited my Brazilian publisher and various
Brazilian friends. I had received a letter from a Brazilian woman who
had read the Portuguese version of my book Lost Cities & Ancient Mysteries
of South America and had written me a letter concerning the opening to a
tunnel system at the resort mountain town of Sao Tome das Letras. Her
name was Marli and she worked at one of the many banks in Sao Paulo.
Carl and I met with Marli one night for dinner and she told us about
the town and the tunnel entrance. Sao Tome das Letras is Portuguese
for "Saint Thomas of the Letters" and is the rather long name of a small
town north of Sao Paulo that, like Samaipata in Bolivia, is on the top of
a mountain. Sao Tome das Letras is in fact a well-known tourist town
in Sao Paulo state, though I had never heard of it. Being on top of
a mountain, it had good views, was cooler than Sao Paulo, and offered hiking
trails, good restaurants and an artist colony for atmosphere. It also
had the entrance to a man-made tunnel system, a feature well known to visitors
of the small town.
Carl and I suggested to Marli that the three of us take a trip to Sao
Tome das Letras and see the entrance to the tunnel system. She agreed
to accompany the two of us as our guide and interpreter. We left the
next day, taking a bus for some four or five hours out of Sao Paulo, heading
on a major highway toward the city of Belo Horizonte in the state of Minas
Gerais.
Soon the bus turned off the main road and headed up a narrow paved
road for some distant, low mountains. Eventually the road wound its
way to the top of one of the mountains and we found ourselves in Sao Tome
das Letras.
Carl, Marli and I grabbed our luggage from beneath the bus and stood
on the cobblestone street at the lower edge of town.
There were many quaint houses, all made of well carved stone with tile
roofs and small windows. I noticed that stonework and even stacks
of stone slate, was everywhere. Sao Tome das Letras was not only a
tourist town, it was also a mountaintop quarry.
We walked up the main street and found a small hotel to spend the night,
leaving our packs and other luggage in the hotel. By now it was late
afternoon and we had only time to walk about town and familiarize ourselves
with this pleasant area.
Later, Marli took us to a local restaurant where a crowd of young people
had gathered to hear the local restaurant owner talk about the mysteries
of Sao Tome das Letras. He was a large man, in his 50s, who spoke
in Portuguese to the 20 or so people gathered in his restaurant. The crowd
listened intently as the man spoke and occasionally I asked Marli what he
was saying. "He is talking about the tunnel that is at the northern edge
of town," said Marli, whispering to me. "He says that the tunnel is
open as far as anyone has ever walked through it. At no place is the
tunnel blocked. The tunnel is man-made, but no one knows who built
it or where it goes."
"The Brazilian army went into the tunnel one time to find out where
it ends. After travelling for four days through the tunnel the team
of Army explorers eventually came to a large room deep underground.
This room had four openings to four tunnels, each going in a different
direction. They had arrived in the room by one of the tunnels."
"They stayed in the room for sometime, using it as their base and
attempted to explore each of the other three tunnels, but after following
each for some time, turned back to the large room. Eventually they
returned to the surface, here at Sao Tome das Letras."
The man continued talking about the tunnel.
Apparently he gave this lecture every night at his restaurant.
"Now he is saying," continued Marli, "that there is a man here in
town who claims to know the tunnel and claims that he has been many weeks
inside the tunnel. This man claims that the tunnel goes all the way
to Peru, to Machu Picchu in the Andes. This man claims that he went completely
under South America, across Brazil and to Machu Picchu. Isn't that
amazing!"
I raised an eyebrow and looked at Carl. He nodded to me at the
fantastic nature of the story. "Does this restaurant owner say that
he has been through the tunnel to Peru?" asked Carl. "No," said Marli, "it
is not this man, it is another man. I don't know who this other man
is.
But now he is telling another story, this time it is about himself.
He says that he was walking early in the morning on the north side of
town, near to the tunnel entrance. On this morning, he suddenly
met a strange man walking in the area of the tunnel. This man was
very tall, about seven feet, and dressed strangely, like the Indians of
the Andes in Peru and Bolivia. The man did not talk to him, but walked
away. Later, the restaurant owner tried to find this man, but no
one knew about him or knew who he was . The restaurant owner thinks
that he came from the tunnel!"
As we left the restaurant, Carl, Marli and I were quite stunned.
It all seemed so incredible.
"Well, Marli," I said, "tomorrow we must see this tunnel and explore
it!"
The next morning after breakfast, we checked our flashlights, put
water and snacks into our day packs, and set off up the cobblestone streets
of Sao Tome das Letras to the north side of town.
It didn't take long to find the tunnel entrance; already four or five
young people were gathered around the entrance looking into the wide cavern.
The entrance was quite large. It was a wide mouth of a cave with a
mound of dirt creating a small hill over the entrance. The cavern entrance
faced to the west and immediately began running down hill, into the earth.
The tunnel/ cavern would have to go downhill, as we were essentially on
top of a mountain.
With our flashlights in hand, we entered the cavern. Within a
few meters, the cavern entrance narrowed into a tunnel which was about three
meters (9 feet) high and two meters wide. The tunnel was dug out
of dirt, and was not cut out of solid rock, as some tunnels are.
The tunnel headed down ward at a steady slope, but it was not too steep.
As mall channel, made by running water moving through this part of the tunnel
(and perhaps by the visitors walking through it) was in the middleof the
floor, sort of a small "trail" worn into the floor. At no point was
it ever necessary to duck, stoop or crawl in this tunnel. Quite the
opposite, it was quite wide and high, even for the tallest man to walk through,
even someone who was, say, seven feet tall!
I was amazed at this ancient feat of engineering. We were descending
down into the earth in a wide, gradually slopping tunnel that was dug
into a red, clay-type dirt. It was not the smooth, laser-cut rock
walls that Erich von Daniken had claimed to have seen in Ecuador in his
book Gold of the Gods, but it was just as incredible.
It wouldn't have taken some space-age device to make this tunnel, just
simple tools; yet, it was clearly a colossal undertaking. Why would anyone
build such a tunnel? Was it an ancient mine that went deep into the
earth, searching for an elusive vein of gold or merely red clay for the
long gone ceramic kilns? Was it an elaborate escape tunnel used in
the horrific wars that were said to have been fought in South America-and
around the world-in the distant past? Or was it some bizarre subterranean
road that linked up with other tunnels in the Andes and ultimately could
be used to journey safely to such places as Machu Picchu, Cuzco or the Atacama
Desert? Maybe a combination of all three.
Marli, Carl and I continued walking through the tunnel for a kilometer
or so. Other visitors to Sao Tome das Letras followed us into the
subterranean system. The tunnel was not perfectly straight, but wound
left and right and occasionally dropped down a few feet and continued on.It
was perfectly dry and the air was fresh and quite breathable.
Eventually, after an hour or so, we came to a spot in the tunnel where
it suddenly dropped down about a meter and a half. It was not a great
obstacle and we could see the tunnel continuing downward, but it was a convenient
place to stop. We had a candy bar and a drink from our daypacks and
rested at this spot and then decided to go back to the surface. We
had no intention of continuing for several days to the fabled room of four
doors deep beneath Brazil. We simply weren't prepared for such an
expedition.
Back on the surface, we had lunch in one of the restaurants and prepared
to get a bus back to Sao Paulo. We talked about the bizarre tunnel.
It was real, there was no doubt about that. It was man-made as well,
as the tunnel was perfectly uniform and contained no fissures or faults
of any kind.
Did it really go to Machu Picchu and the Andes? It seemed incredible,
but we could not discount this story. Not yet anyway.
Perhaps in the future we would return to Sao Tome das Letras, and find
the secret of the room with four doors.
The Lost Pyramid in the Valley of the Blue Moon.
Back at the World Explorers Club, I began investigating other tales
of tunnels and lost cities in Peru. My search eventually led me to
the strange story of the Valley of the Blue Moon and a secret monastery
of the Andes.
This monastery is the subject of a book, "Secret of the Andes", by
George Hunt Williamson, written under the pen name Brother Philip.
Williamson was also the author of a number of other books, including "The
Saucers Speak" (1954), "Other Tongues, Other Flesh" (1957), "Secret Places
of the Lion" (1958) and "Road in the Sky"
(1959). He was an adventurer and anthropologist, and a believer
in lost continents. Williamson was no doubt a fascinating person
(he died in 1986), however it is clear that he fabricated much of the "true"
information in his books and even used material typed directly from Richard
Shaver's book "I Remember Lemuria!" as his own past life "memories."
But George Hunt Williamson cannot be dismissed too easily. He
must be given credit for bringing some of the popular mysteries of South
Americain to the forefront. Williamson had made expeditions into
the Madre deDios jungles of Peru in search of Paititi in the early 1950s,
as many British explorers were attempting to do. In his various books,
he talked about many of the mysteries of Peru including Paititi, tunnel
systems, the weird stone formations on the Marcahuasi Plateau near Lima,
and the Nazca Lines along the southern coast. Undoubtedly, later
writers such as Erich von Daniken, Charles Berlitz and Robert Charroux used
his writings as early guidebooks to the mysteries of Peru.
While at times the fact and fancy in the pages of Secret of the Andes
seem to merge, the first part of the book makes good reading. According
to Williamson, a "Lord Muru" arrived at Lake Titicaca at some time in
the remote past, when the Andes Mountains were first uplifted in a cataclysmic
event that also sank the Pacific continent of Mu. Lord Muru set
up the "Monastery of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays," which was to keep
the secrets and treasures of his race in its archives.
Among these treasures was the Golden Sun Disc of Mu. Williamson
maintains that this Sun Disc was later given to the Incas, when they had
advanced enough spiritually to appreciate it. But when the Spaniards
conquered Peru, the Sun Disc was removed from the Sun Temple at Cuzco,
and placed back in safekeeping at the monastery.
There is still some indication that a tunnel system, and perhaps
a hidden "monastery" does exist in South America. The legend of the
Valley of the Blue Moon is one that has a life beyond Brother Philip and
George Hunt Williamson.
One story told to me by a friend from Indianapolis, Bryan Strohm, also
tends to confirm that there is a secret, underground, "city" in the Andes
east of Lake Titicaca.
Bryan came to visit me at the World Explorers Club in Kempton while
I was researching the tunnels and told me of his quest for the Valley
of the Blue Moon some years before. Bryan arrived in Lima and flew
to Cuzco to take the train to Puno. From Puno he took a truck to San
Juan del Oro, in the rugged mountains northeast of Lake Titicaca.
He continued past San Juan del Oro by truck to another small village
where he met a school teacher who told him an interesting story of a local
Quechua Indian who had wandered over a high altitude ridge in the mountains
where he saw a small mountain lake with grassy fields leading down to it.
It was a small, hidden valley in the Andes.
The Indian was camping beside this lake when late at night he heard
the sound of chanting. He hid behind a bush, and soon saw a group
of men dressed in white robes. These men came walking down a trail
to the lake, chanting and carrying some kind of lights with them.
Terrified, the man hid behind the bush and then watched as the men
in white robes began to chant around the lake. The water in the small
mountain lake then levitated out of the lake. Astonished, the man then
saw steps that were cut in the solid rock, going down to a pedestals and
a platform made out of stone. There may have been some sort of door
going into the earth among these stone structures. The men in white
robes then performed some unknown ceremony.
The man watched for some time until suddenly he was seen by the central
figure on the pedestal who turned to the hiding man and suddenly raised
his arms into the air and created a storm. A cloud immediately appeared
and began to hail on the man. A bolt of lightning struck nearby.
The Quechua Indian ran from the bushes and, with the hail and lightning
following him, went back down the mountains the way he had come.
When he returned to the villages below he told the strange story to others,
and it was now well known.
Bryan also mentioned that the Valley of the Blue Moon, which appears
to be in a different location from the lake, was said to have a huge pyramid
at the end of it. Bryan spent two weeks hiking on the trails around
San Juan del Oro and eventually came to large but hidden valley which
had a gigantic pyramid-shaped mountain at the end of it.
The pyramid-mountain was distant and obscured by clouds. They
thought that they might reach the area of the pyramid with only a day's
walk after glimpsing the pyramid, but two and a half days later they had
still not reached it. Clouds obscured their view most of time, but
occasionally they would clear for a short time and reveal the pyramid-mountain
to them. This pyramid-mountain, he believed, was the true location of
the secret brotherhood which George Hunt Williamson had described in his
books.
Storms and lack of food eventually drove their party back to a small
village near San Juan del Oro. They didn't reach their destination,
but Bryan said that they were all convinced that they had found the Valley
of the Blue Moon and that there was something unusual about it.
There are plenty of people who feel that something unusual is going
on underground, not only in South America, but in North America, Europe,
Asia, Africa and around the world. A huge underground tunnel system
connecting distant points on earth is a fascinating possibility.
Does it exist? Who will find it? How far back was it built?
Time, shall we say, will tell.

- -- US GAO TO REPORT ON LABORATORY BIRTH OF AIDS (Youngstown, OH)
US General Accounting Office investigators will brief Ohio Congressman
James A. Traficant of the GAO's current investigation into the mostly
secret US Special 'AIDS' Virus program as early as Friday April 12,
2002.
According to statements released today from the Congressman's chief
of staff, Mr.
Anthony Traficanti. "(The US GAO) is going to schedule a video
teleconference with our office sometime next week, I suggest you be there."
The US Special Virus program secretly spent 15 years and $550 million
tax payer dollars to develop 60,000 liters of a new chimera virus which
depletes the human immune system.
The 'special virus' is designed for an affinity towards racial blood
markers in people of color, according to the government's US Special Virus
documentation uncovered by Dr. Boyd E. Graves' during his
decade of research into the origin of HIV/AIDS.
"The 1971 AIDS Development flowchart is the "missing link" in establishing
the design, purpose and intent of the AIDS pandemic under the auspices
of population control and national security," says Dr.
Graves. "Prior to May, 1984 AIDS was called the leukemia/lymphoma
virus."
On May 15, 2000 Dr. Victoria Cargill, senior US AIDS expert at
the National Institute of Health, independently acknowledged the existence
of the government's secret 1971 HIV/AIDS Flow Chart which Dr. Graves
uncovered in
1999.
According to Buckeye Review publisher Mr. Mike McNair, "The GAO
Investigation called by Congressman Traficant, is crucial in allowing the
government to speak definitively about the medical and governmental facts
as they exist."
The secret US Special HIV/AIDS Virus Flow Chart five page fold out
is featured on page
51 of Dr. Graves' first book, "STATE ORIGIN: The Evidence of
the Laboratory Birth of AIDS" (NOAH/Zygote Media 2001 ISBN# 0-9707735-1-X).
"Dr. Graves first book has sold out around the world three times
already," says his publisher. "Dr. Graves has provided over
26,000 free HIV/AIDS Flow Charts to folks in every corner of the world."

"We must let nature determine the finish line, not man," says Dr.
Graves.
"We are greater than any federal virus program. We are the human
race."

TO WHICH I REPLIED (in part)
Let's hope that some journalists will be courageous enough to investigate
this horrific most evil thing they've done.
I've seen a couple times info about the fact that AIDS was initially
- and deliberately - inoculated to some target populations (in Africa,
in the San Franciso and New York Gay communities) through a WHO hepatitis
vaccination program.

Accident or Intentional?"

AND LOOKING BACK INTO MY OLD FILES I ALSO FOUND THIS OTHER PIECE OF
CONCURRING EVIDENCE From: "Mary Hirsch" <soul18@pioneer.net mailto:soul18@pioneer.net
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 Hi Jean Here's a bit of personal testimony from
the past: While working in a public affairs firm in the mid-80's, I was
given an assignment to research AIDS for a fortune 100 corp. I discovered
info that led me to believe the initial outbreak occurred among the heterosexual
population in Western Africa following a WHO hepatitis vaccination program.
An elderly scientist friend, who passed on several years ago, suggested
to me, at the time, that it was a virus developed in a lab -- it was an
experiment by the 'powers that be' to control and/or eliminate the less
than desirable elements of the world's population. -- He also suggested
that the gay population in San Francisco was one of the initial 'test' markets
as well as longshoremen who would spread the disease worldwide. Unfortunately
the majority of people did NOT want to listen to worldwide conspiracy theories..and
I s'pose, the majority, still do not...it's a hard pill to swallow.
Thank heaven someone has been doing their homework and, finally, someone
is listening! With enough truth, simplicity and love we CAN make a
difference!
REMINDER: Well over 30 million people around the world are infected
by the AIDS virus and millions of them are dying every year, mostly in
Africa where 5 million people are now infected each year, a human tragedy
of apocalyptic proportions leaving millions of orphaned children to fend
for themselves in the poorest continent on Earth.

By Dr. Roy Walford The maximum life span of humans is about 110
years; of mice, about 39 months. Thus far, mice over 39 months of
age have not been produced by anything except selective restriction of calories
in the diet. Calorie restriction (CR) has extended the 39-month maximum
life span of mice to an impressive 56 months, which would correspond proportionally
to a 158 year-old human. And the long-lived mice stay youthful in
appearance, in mental and physical abilities, and show enhanced resistance
to disease.
These well-established facts are why the CR diet is now one of the
principal areas of research in gerontology, and is receiving major emphasis
from the National Institute on Aging.
So let's run briefly through the history of this remarkable CR phenomenon,
and discuss what precisely it is, how and why it works to retard aging
(to the extent that this is known), and whether it will work as dramatically
in humans as it does in rodents. Historically, the field's development
can be divided into five phases:
(1) The demonstration that mean and maximum life spans are greatly
extended in rodents by a CR diet. This was first shown at Cornell University
as long ago as 1935, and has been confirmed dozens of times elsewhere, right
up to the present time. Also, the frequencies of a wide variety of
diseases -- including virtually all types of cancer, cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, kidney disease, autoimmune disease, ocular degeneration, plus others
-- have been documented as being greatly reduced in CR animals. The
reduction ranges from twofold to as much as tenfold. (For example,
50 percent of female control mice of a particular genetic strain develop breast
cancer, but only
5 percent of the same strain if on a CR diet.)
(2) CR's effect on life span has been dramatic in every species so
far tested, from invertebrates (spiders, worms, etc) up through fish and
rodents. One may cautiously presume that it may be a "general" effect,
and not simply a rodent phenomenon.
(3) How CR animals look, how they respond in tests of mental and physical
abilities, their levels of blood sugar, insulin, blood lipids, blood pressure,
and essentially all their physiologic parameters correspond to those of
chronologically much, much younger animals. This area of research,
namely the effect of CR on physiologic systems, was first opened in my laboratory
in the early 1970s, with the immune system as representative yard stick.
Over the past twenty years, we've continued this research for biochemical,
endocrine, molecular genetic, and behavioral markers in a number of university
laboratories.
(4) The search for the mechanism whereby a selective restriction of
calories exerts such global effects upon so many systems; and finally (5)
The question whether those same effects would obtain in primates including
humans. Can human aging be slowed and life span extended by a CR
diet, and by how much?
What precisely is the CR diet? Giving animals fewer calories
than they would consume by choice makes them live longer, with enhanced faculties,
and with fewer diseases, but these fewer calories cannot come from the mouse
counterpart of the typical junky American diet. While reduced in
calories, the quality of the diet must be increased so that essential nutrients
like vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are not reduced. The reason
the semi-starved populations in parts of Africa or the Orient don't live
longer is that they are not only calorie restricted, they are malnourished.
The "adequate nutrition" side of CR is essential. Given that, then
the fewer the calories, the longer the life, down to about 50 percent restriction
in rodents, and the other beneficial effects noted above follow along proportionately.
In other words, CR is not an all or none phenomenon. Even
10 percent restriction has a measurable beneficial effect.
Of course, there is a lower limit. Below 50 percent takes you into
actual calorie starvation, and the death rate increases. Fifty percent
restriction is not recommended for humans. That's too close to being
too few in the way of calories!
What is the mechanism behind CR's marvelous effects? If we knew
the mechanism, perhaps we could achieve the same results by an easier method
than restricting food intake. One thing is certain. The effect
is only related to calories. As long as essential nutrients are present,
the relative amounts of protein, carbohydrate, and fat make no difference.
Life is extended and health is enhanced. Beyond that simple fact,
we have an embarrassment of possibilities. The mechanism of CR can
be interpreted according to most of the current theories of aging:
• CR increases the ability of the body to repair damaged DNA, • Definitely
decreases oxidative (free radical) damage in the body, • Increases the
levels of certain protective/repair proteins that respond to stress, • Improves
glucose-insulin metabolism, • Delays age-related immunological decline as
shown by virtually all immune functional tests.
CR is the strongest cancer-preventive technique known, although it's
important to point out that disease prevention is a side effect of CR,
and not the primary reason for the age-retardation or life span increase.
Dr. Richard Weindruch and I postulated some years ago that the
mechanism is related to an increase in "metabolic efficiency." This can
be thought of as leading to less "friction" in the body's generation of energy.
Others have referred to this concept as "improved glucose fuel use." From
the standpoint of evolutionary theory -- another approach to understanding
the mechanism -- it has been proposed that CR kicks into play an "adaptive
response." This response allows animals, faced by episodic periods of food
shortage in the wild, to shift more of their metabolic energy into maintenance
and repair, and so outlive or survive the period of deprivation.
In the one closely monitored human study (inside Biosphere 2 for two
years), CR sharply lowered blood cholesterol (by up to 35 percent), blood
sugar and blood insulin (by 15 to 20 percent), blood pressure (20 percent
or more), and induced other changes paralleling those seen in CR rodents
and (more recently) monkeys.
Human Application Will CR retard aging (and do all the other wonderful
things it does in lower animals) in primates, including humans?
My answer is, "It almost certainly will." I say "almost" because it has
not been applied in either monkey or human studies long enough to allow
the demonstration of a change in maximum life span. Monkey studies
will answer this first, and they are ongoing in three different laboratories
(University of Wisconsin, University of Maryland, and the National Institute
on Aging). It may be 10 to 12 years before we have unequivocal results.
(Monkeys live a long time, although not as long as humans.)
So much for the "almost." The "certainly" in my answer is because (a)
as so far tested, CR works across the whole animal kingdom, so it would
indeed be surprising if it did not work in humans, and (b) studies on monkeys
in the above three laboratories, and by me on the humans secluded for two
years inside Biosphere 2, show quite clearly that the extensive physiologic
and biochemical changes seen in CR rodents are also found in CR primates,
including humans.

The BBC reports:
"Hidden deep beneath the Earth's surface lie one of the most destructive
and yet least-understood natural phenomena in the world - super volcanoes.
Only a handful exists in the world but when one erupts it will be unlike
any volcano we have ever witnessed. The explosion will be heard around
the world. The sky will darken, black rain will fall, and the Earth
will be plunged into the equivalent of a nuclear winter.
Normal volcanoes are formed by a column of magma - molten rock - rising
from deep within the Earth, erupting on the surface, and hardening in layers
down the sides. This forms the familiar cone shaped mountain we associate
with volcanoes. Super volcanoes, however, begin life when magma rises
from the mantle to create a boiling reservoir in the Earth's crust.
This chamber increases to an enormous size, building up colossal pressure
until it finally erupts.
The last super volcano to erupt was Toba 74,000 years ago in Sumatra.
Ten thousands times bigger than Mt St Helens, it created a global catastrophe
dramatically affecting life on Earth. Scientists know that another
one is due - they just don't know when…. or where.
It is little known that lying underneath one of America's areas of
outstanding natural beauty - Yellowstone Park - is one of the largest super
volcanoes in the world. Scientists have revealed that it has been on a regular
eruption cycle of 600,000 years. The last eruption was 640,000 years ago…so
the next is overdue.
And the sleeping giant is breathing: volcanologists have been tracking
the movement of magma under the park and have calculated that in parts
of Yellowstone the ground has risen over seventy centimeters this century.
Is this just the harmless movement of lava, flowing from one part of the
reservoir to another? Or does it presage something much more sinister,
a pressurized build-up of molten lava?
Scientists have very few answers, but they do know that the impact
of a Yellowstone eruption is terrifying to comprehend. Huge areas of
the USA would be destroyed, the US economy would probably collapse, and thousands
might die.
And it would devastate the planet. Climatologists now know that
Toba blasted so much ash and sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere that
it blocked out the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to plummet.
Some geneticists now believe that this had a catastrophic effect on human
life, possibly reducing the population on Earth to just a few thousand people.
Mankind was pushed to the edge of extinction… and it could happen again."
British engineers say they have invented a revolutionary tooth implant
that works like a mobile phone and would not be out of place in a James
Bond spy movie.
The "tooth phone" consists of a tiny vibrator and a radio wave receiver
implanted into a tooth during routine dental surgery. The phone
was designed by James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau.
The implant does not yet have its own microchip installed, but Auger
says the technology is tried and tested, and a fully functional phone
could be put together in no time at all.
"With the current size of microchips, this is feasible. They are now
small enough to implant in the tooth," he said Tuesday.
Sound, which comes into the tooth as a digital radio signal, is transferred
to the inner ear by bone resonance, meaning information can be received
anywhere and at any time--and nobody else can listen in.
The invention raises the prospects of financial traders receiving the
latest stock market bulletins while at the cinema and politicians tuning
in to secret briefings from advisers while being quizzed by opponents.
Despite its similarity to high-tech gadgets dreamed up by Bond's faithful
"Q" sidekick, the inventors believe the gizmo could become the first in
a whole suite of nonmedical devices implanted into the human body.

RED HEIFER BORN IN ISRAEL April 10, 2002 Israel National News reports:
"In these days of difficulty for the Land of Israel, there is encouraging
news as well...
It can now be revealed that less than one month ago, a red heifer was
born in Israel.
After the heifer's owner contacted the Temple Institute, on Friday,
April 5th, 2001, Rabbi Menachem Makover and Rabbi Chaim Richman traveled
to the farm where the heifer is located, to inspect and validate her status.
The rabbis found her to be kosher and were satisfied that this heifer
could indeed be a candidate to be used in the process of purification
described in the book of Numbers, chapter 19. This is a prerequisite
for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple.
Tradition records that a red heifer in our generation is a herald of
the Messianic era.
It is certainly an important development towards the rebuilding
of the Holy Temple. Our sages taught that Israel’s redemption can
be compared to the dawn. 'In the beginning, it progresses very slowly...but
as it continues, it grows brighter and brighter.'…"
Men redundant? Now we don't need women either
Scientists have developed an artificial womb that allows embryos to grow
outside the body
Doctors are developing artificial wombs in which embryos can grow outside
a woman's body. The work has been hailed as a breakthrough in treating
the childless.
Scientists have created prototypes made out of cells extracted from
women's bodies. Embryos successfully attached themselves to the
walls of these laboratory wombs and began to grow. However, experiments
had to be terminated after a few days to comply with in-vitro fertilisation
(IVF) regulations.
'We hope to create complete artificial wombs using these techniques
in a few years,' said Dr Hung-Ching Liu of Cornell University's Centre
for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility.
'Women with damaged uteruses and wombs will be able to have babies
for the first time.' The pace of progress in the field has startled experts.
Artificial wombs could end many women's childbirth problems - but they
also raise major ethical headaches which will be debated at a major international
conference titled 'The End of Natural Motherhood?' in Oklahoma next week.
'There are going to be real problems,' said organiser Dr Scott Gelfand,
of Oklahoma State University. 'Some feminists even say artificial
wombs mean men could eliminate women from the planet and still perpetuate
our species. That's a bit alarmist.
Nevertheless, this subject clearly raises strong feelings.' Liu's
work involves removing cells from the endometrium, the lining of the womb.
'We have learnt how to grow these cells in the laboratory using hormones
and growth factors,' she said.
After this Liu and her colleagues grew layers of these cells on scaffolds
of biodegradable material which had been modelled into shapes mirroring
the interior of the uterus. The cells grew into tissue and the scaffold
dissolved. Then nutrients and hormones such as oestrogen were added
to the tissue.
'Finally, we took embryos left over from IVF programmes and put these
into our laboratory engineered tissue. The embryos attached themselves
to the walls of our prototype wombs and began to settle there.' The experiments
were halted after six days. However, Liu now plans to continue with
this research and allow embryos to grow in the artificial wombs for 14
days, the maximum permitted by IVF legislation. 'We will then see
if the embryos put down roots and veins into our artificial wombs' walls,
and see if their cells differentiate into primitive organs and develop a
primitive placenta.' The immediate aim of this work is to help women whose
damaged wombs prevent them from conceiving. An artificial womb would
be made from their own endometrium cells, an embryo placed inside it, and
allowed to settle and grow before the whole package is placed back in her
body.
'The new womb would be made of the woman's own cells. so there
would be no danger of organ rejection,' Liu added.
However, her research is currently limited by IVF legislation. 'The
next stage will involve experiments with mice or dogs. If that works,
we shall ask to take our work beyond the 14-day limit now imposed on such
research.' A different approach has been taken by Yoshinori Kuwabara at
Juntendo University in Tokyo. His team has removed foetuses from goats
and placed them in clear plastic tanks filled with amniotic fluid stabilised
at body temperature. In this way, Kuwabara has kept goat foetuses
alive and growing for up to 10 days by connecting their umbilical cords
to machines that pump in nutrients and dispose of waste.
While Liu's work is aimed at helping those having difficulty conceiving,
Kuwabara's is designed to help women who suffer miscarriages or very premature
births. In this way Liu is extending the time an embryo can exist
in a laboratory before being placed in a woman's body; Kuwabara is trying
to give a foetus a safe home if expelled too early from its natural womb.
Crucially, both believe artificial wombs capable of sustaining a child
for nine months will become reality in a few years.
'Essentially research is moving towards the same goal but from opposite
directions,' UK fertility expert Dr Simon Fishel, of Park Hospital, Nottingham,
said. 'Getting them to meet in the middle will not be easy, however.
There are so many critical stages of pregnancy, and so many factors to
get right. Nevertheless, this work is very exciting.' It also has
serious ethical implications, as Gelfand pointed out.
'For a start, there is the issue of abortion. A woman is usually
allowed to have one on the grounds she wants to get rid of something alien
inside her own body.
'At present, this means killing the foetus. But if artificial
wombs are developed, the foetus could be placed in one, and the woman
told she has to look after it once it has developed into a child.' In
addition, if combined with cloning technology, artificial wombs raise
the prospect that gay couples could give 'birth' to their own children.
'This would no doubt horrify right-wingers, while the implications for
abortion law might well please them,' he added.
Gelfand also warned that artificial wombs could have unexpected consequences
for working women and health insurance. 'They would mean that women
would no longer need maternity leave - which employers could become increasingly
reluctant to give.
'It may also turn out that artificial wombs provide safer environments
than natural wombs which can be invaded by drugs and alcohol from a mother's
body. Health insurance companies could actually insist that women
opt for the artificial way.
'Certainly, this is going to raise a lot of tricky problems
ANCIENT CITY FOUND, IRRADIATED FROM ATOMIC BLAST
This file shared with KeelyNet courtesy of Bryant Stavely.
Excerpt from the World Island Review, January 1992.
Radiation still so intense, the area is highly dangerous A heavy layer
of radioactive ash in Rajasthan, India, covers a three-square mile area,
ten miles west of Jodhpur. Scientists are investigating the site, where
a housing development was being built.
For some time it has been established that there is a very high rate
of birth defects and cancer in the area under construction. The levels
of radiation there have registered so high on investigators' gauges that
the Indian government has now cordoned off the region. Scientists
have unearthed an ancient city where evidence shows an atomic blast dating
back thousands of years, from 8,000 to 12,000 years, destroyed most of the
buildings and probably a half-million people. One researcher estimates
that the nuclear bomb used was about the size of the ones dropped on Japan
in 1945.
The Mahabharata clearly describes a catastrophic blast that rocked
the continent. "A single projectile charged with all the power in the
Universe...An incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as 10,000
suns, rose in all its splendor...it was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt,
a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race.
"The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. Their hair
and nails fell out, pottery broke without any apparent cause, and the birds
turned white.
"After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected. To escape from
this fire, the soldiers threw themselves into the river."
A HISTORIAN COMMENTS Historian Kisari Mohan Ganguli says that Indian
sacred writings are full of such descriptions, which sound like an atomic
blast as experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He says references
mention fighting sky chariots and final weapons. An ancient battle
is described in the Drona Parva, a section of the Mahabharata. "The
passage tells of combat where explosions of final weapons decimate entire
armies, causing crowds of warriors with steeds and elephants and weapons
to be carried away as if they were dry leaves of trees," says Ganguli.
"Instead of mushroom clouds, the writer describes a perpendicular explosion
with its billowing smoke clouds as consecutive openings of giant parasols.
There are comments about the contamination of food and people's hair falling
out."
ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION PROVIDES INFORMATION Archeologist Francis
Taylor says that etchings in some nearby temples he has managed to translate
suggest that they prayed to be spared from the great light that was coming
to lay ruin to the city. "It's so mid-boggling to imagine that some
civilization had nuclear technology before we did. The radioactive
ash adds credibility to the ancient Indian records that describe atomic
warfare."
Construction has halted while the five member team conducts the investigation.
The foreman of the project is Lee Hundley, who pioneered the investigation
after the high level of radiation was discovered.
What is happening at the South Pole?
"Frankly doctor, we've been receiving reports that a rather serious
epidemic has broken out at Clavius.
Is this in fact what has happened?
Dr. Floyd -- "I'm sorry. As I said, I'm not at liberty
to discuss it."
-- Scene from 2001 - a Space Odyssey In recent weeks, a series of disturbing
and mysterious reports have been coming out of Antarctica, centered around
a strange "anomaly" recently detected on that perpetually frozen Continent.
The stories, covered extensively by internet news sources (like Kent Steadman's
Cyberspace Orbit site), draw eerie parallels to material as diverse as a
French novel, the "X-Files" movie, and as we shall see, even Arthur C.
Clarke's "2001 - A Space Odyssey."
All the intrigue centers around a fairly recent, but potentially "breakthrough"
discovery on that faraway Continent. In 1957, the Russians built a
base in eastern Antarctica which they named "Vostok" (East), which also happens
to be the name of the first series of manned Russian spacecraft. In
the 1970's, via airborne radar surveys, they belatedly began to suspect
that they had "inadvertently" (as the story goes) built their base at the
tip of a large subglacial lake. In the years since, orbital radar mapping
(shown below) combined with surface seismological measurements have confirmed
that "Lake Vostok," under over two miles of solid ice, is the largest lake
discovered in the last 100 years -- roughly the size of Lake Ontario but
much deeper in places (more than 3000 feet!), with about four times the volume.
The Lake, which is still liquid and not frozen, has been isolated under
the ice sheet since anywhere from 13,000 to 14 million years ago, depending
on who you talk to (thus, who's estimating precisely "when" the ice last
completely covered the Continent). The water in the Lake (determined
by surface thermal scans) ranges from 50 to 65 degrees F, clearly indicating
a sub-terranean heat source. In addition, the whole Lake is covered
by a sloping air "dome" several thousand feet high that has formed (from
the "hot" water melting the overlying ice) just above the Lake's surface.
Core samples taken by the Russians a couple years ago at their Vostok
Base -- when they drilled down very close to the bottom of the ice sheet
-- have revealed the presence of microbes, nutrients and various gases
-- like methane -- embedded in the clear,, refrozen Lake water just above
the "dome." Such items are typical signatures of biological processes.
The Lake, therefore, has all the ingredients of an incredible scientific
find: a completely "isolated" eco-system -- water, heat, respired gases and
(judging from the unique microorganisms that scientists were actually able
to culture in the United States and Russia, when retrieved from their icy
prison) ... current biological activity. As the actual scope
and composition of the Lake became clearer from about 1998 on, NASA began
to see it as an ideal test bed for its eventual plans to drill through the
ice and search the oceans of Jupiter's moon, Europa. Accordingly, JPL
received NASA grants to develop unique "sterile" drilling technology, conduct
actually drilling and probe experiments in other terrestrial environments,
and to prepare a Plan to actually enter Lake Vostok by 2002.
But, coincident with a stunning new discovery, JPL has evidently now
backed off these ambitious exploration plans.
According to Scientific American, the National Science Foundation has
now suddenly cancelled plans to penetrate the Lake with a robotic probe
by that target date: 2002. The ostensible reason is "concern over environmental
contamination." As noted earlier, core samples returned from the ice refrozen
just 100 yards above the Lake's "air dome," contained a plethora of microorganisms
of various categories, including some never seen before.
A new, uncategorized microbe from the Lake Vostok ice core samples.
These new, exotic life forms have raised concerns among the environmental
lobby that exploration of Lake Vostok might "contaminate" an otherwise
pristine eco-system. All this seems quite reasonable, until you factor
in what happened in February, and the reaction to it.
A team of scientists from Columbia University, working under the auspices
of the NSF, early in 2001 began a series of unprecedented low-altitude aerial
surveys over Lake Vostok, designed to chart gravitational, magnetic and
thermal activity under the ice. In the course of doing so, they made
a stunning find. A huge magnetic anomaly was discovered covering the
entire Southeast portion of the shore of the Lake. This remarkable
anomaly, which is discrepant from the background by over 1,000 nanoteslas
(a significant variance, compared to daily variations in the Earth's magnetic
field), could of course be caused by "natural" processes.
One possibility, voiced by Columbia's Michael Studinger, is that the
Earth's crust in the vicinity of the Lake is simply thinner under this section
of Antarctica, having been stretched during the formation of the lake bed
itself. This, according to Studinger, would result in a "local magnetic
anomaly." Others, like Enterprise consulting geologist Ron Nicks, have
serious difficulty with this theory. Nicks explains that such a thinning
would heat the underlying rock and thus diminish (rather than increase
-- as observed) the crust's ability to loocally amplify the Earth's magnetic
field.
There is, as always, an equally viable alternative explanation.
An anomaly like this could also be caused by an accumulation of metals
-- the kind you would get if you found thee ruins of an ancient, buried city!
An "ancient city under the ice?" Such a discovery would be absolutely
dazzling, sending shockwaves through our world as profound as the discovery
of "artifacts on Mars" or "ruins on the Moon." And the notion is not as
improbable as you may think.
There is a growing trend toward the acceptance of the notion of "catastrophism"
as a viable alternative to conventional geologic models. This is
in opposition to the current (but retreating) geological model, called "gradualism"
-- the concept that geologic changes only happen slowly, over eons.
However, more and more evidence has mounted (from the Vostok ice cores,
for example) that climatological changes can happen rapidly. Some attribute
these "catastrophic" changes in the record to sudden polar shifts.
Many researchers, from a variety of evidence, have put the last such sudden
shift at around ~13,000 years ago.
Under this "catastrophic" model, Antarctica might well have been a temperate,
even a jungle Continent, as recently as that 13KYA time frame. A sudden
change in the Earth's alignment relative to the sun would have plunged this
once hospitable land into a perpetual freezing hell, as cold as Mars in some
places. Indeed, it is easy to see Antarctica as Hitler did, as the
source of worldwide "Atlantis" legends we have all heard and read.
According to least one source, Dr. Werner Von Braun of NASA was convinced
that Hitler's belief in an "Atlantis below the ice" was correct.
This admittedly far-fetched notion, however, begins to take on an air
of viability when viewed in the extraordinary context of recent events.
Almost immediately after the discovery of the Columbia "Vostok magnetic
anomaly," word began to leak out that JPL was inexplicably "pulling back
from its Vostok exploration program." The reason given was the previously
stated "environmental concerns." This was all well and good, until unconfirmed
reports began to surface that a JPL spokesperson had admitted at a February
press conference that the National Security Agency (NSA) had literally
taken over the JPL polar research program at Lake Vostok. It was
this report which created something of a firestorm on the Internet.
Several sources immediately pointed to the fact that the location of
the "Vostok anomaly"
is quite close to coordinates shown in the "X-Files" movie regarding
the fictional location of a massive, "buried alien spacecraft." In fact,
the Russian Vostok Base is the closest base of any kind to the coordinates
given in the movie. (All this reminded us, of course, of our own previous
suspicions about the true source of some of X-Files creator Chris Carter's
story ideas ....)
The discovery of the peculiar Vostok anomaly underneath the ice --
encompassing an area almost 3,000 miles in area -- was also eerily reminiscent
of a French novel, "Subterranean," in which Antarctic scientists discover
an inhabited "Lost City" under the ice.
And there were even stranger stories suddenly coming from the "bottom
of the world" in this same time frame ....
A December 2000 report, carried on this Continent by NPR, stated that
"someone at McMurdo had become disoriented" and began to spread the rumor
of a "UFO landing" in Antarctica. There was even a poster circulating
though the Base, depicting a giant spacecraft hovering directly over McMurdo!
The individual supposedly responsible was promptly "deported" from the
Continent -- literally put on the next plane back to New Zealand (the official
gateway to McMurdo)! Equally bizarre, at least three scientists --
including the Russian discoverer of a remarkable set of geometric "dunes,"
seen directly above the strongest region of the Vostok anomaly -- have died
on the Continent in the past two years. Curiously, the causes of these deaths
-- all of them young men in their thirtiess and forties -- have not been
reported.
McMurdo Station Whether the story about the JPL press conference is,
in fact, the truth (we have yet to substantiate the actual report), still
stranger things began to happen down South. Initially, it was reported
that the doctor at the South Pole (the second replacement in two years at
the Amundson-Scott Base) needed an unprecedented airlift extraction (this
late in the season) -- because of "complications from a gall stone." Then,
coincident with that, other reports began to surface of the need for four
more medical extractions, in an equally unprecedented fashion, from the
coastal base at McMurdo Station, the largest US base on the entire Continent.
Again, as with the previously reported deaths, the reasons were somewhat
mysterious as to the precise need for these "emergency medical extractions."
Public speculation has hinged on the idea that someone coming into McMurdo
from New Zealand brought "something" with them from home, some kind of infectious
disease, that was subsequently spreading among the isolated population
there.
However, this is extremely unlikely. Precisely because of the
isolated population in Antarctica, immigrants are screened for a wide
range of diseases before being allowed on the Continent. In fact,
upon arrival, they are quarantined for a number of days-- to ensure they
have not brought any "friends from home" with them. And, as is well
known, the environmental conditions in Antarctica are so harsh that normal
viruses and other microbial life cannot readily survive (even common colds
are vanishingly rare), virtually guaranteeing that nobody in this instance
caught a case of the "Antarctic flu."
So what's happening? Two thoughts immediately spring to mind:
One is that some "Special Project" has, against all scientific and
environmental prudence, indeed drilled through the ice into the Lake Vostok
eco-system (clandestinely, of course). And, the participants have suddenly
found themselves exposed to "something" for which their bodies literally
have no immunity -- something not extant in the rest of Earth's biosphere
for between 13,000 and several million years! After the initial reports
of "four emergency extractions," the number changed to five ... and
now twelve McMurdo personnel are supposedly in need of a dangerous, "emergency
medical evacuation" well into the Antarctic winter season. At one level,
this has all the earmarks of "something" virulently spreading among the limited
winter population at the Base, something that even the fairly complete medical
facilities at McMurdo can no longer cope with.
Complicating the picture is the fact that the "extractees" are not
research scientists or long-term support personnel, but are all employees
of Raytheon Corporation -- a high-tech firm that is deeply involved in a
variety of black-ops programs for the U.S. government all around the world.
This idea (that these two simultaneous "emergencies" are actually due
to some kind of "black ops fiasco" in Antarctica) is reinforced by another
little noticed story coming out of the Amundson-Scott Base -- that the doctor
being brought in (to replace the ailing doctor) has been asked to also
bring in "an emergency supply of salt." She's even been asked to "stuff
her own pockets full of salt packets," ostensibly because there is "no room
on the rescue aircraft itself." This is obviously a silly, thinly-veiled
"cover story" ... designed to tell someone "outside" ... "something."
Salt is crucial to survival in outdoor conditions in Antarctica. The
air is so dry, that unless someone exposed to the outdoors there has a good
supply of salt, they are likely to face the possibility of death by mineral
depletion and dehydration. Obviously the Base, after years of operation,
would have a pretty good handle on just how much salt is needed until the
next re-supply plane arrives. So how is it that they suddenly find
themselves desperately without any of it left?!
Maybe, because they suddenly had a unique situation. Maybe because
a team of scientists and engineers from Raytheon spent a lot of unplanned
days out on the windswept ice, frantically drilling against the clock, in
an all-out effort to break through to the Lake below -- and in the process,
used far more than the normal complement of salt to survive.
The other possibility for the sudden, simultaneous "evacuations" is
even more extraordinary.
What if these Raytheon black ops personnel did indeed find "something"
in their secret drilling under Vostok -- and needed to get it back to
civilization ASAP for in-depth study. Under this scenario, the whole
idea of an "outbreak" is simply a ruse to cover the need for a large airplane
(a New Zealand C-130 Hercules) dramatically visiting McMurdo at a time
never attempted in all its years before: the only "way out" for something
very important from the Continent. How do you cover such an operation?
Put all the medical hints out there, and wait for the Internet conspiracists
to "figure out" that there has been some kind of outbreak at McMurdo (there
has been NO official confirmation of this theory, by the way), all the
while covering your real agenda -- which is to get your hands on a genuine
artifact from "Zep-Tepi" before the dead of the Antarctic winter makes
any such attempt this year impossible!
This "conspiracy within a conspiracy" would seem a little far-fetched
even to us were it not for one inescapable reality -- -- It's 2001.
This whole weird scenario, the discovery of a magnetic anomaly at an
isolated location, the secret digging to uncover an ancient artifact, the
danger of shattering social consequences if the information is not properly
contained, the concoction of an epidemic as a cover story for the secret
activities around the extraction of the artifact -- is straight out of Clarke's
"2001" playbook! The only real difference is the location of the artifact,
Antarctica, instead of the Moon! Indeed, even the date -- 2001 --
is dead on.
Anybody wonder if maybe Clarke knew something about "AMA-1" when
he wrote his story more than three decades ago?
The parallels to us are striking. Remember, we have been warning
all along that "2001"
was Special, that a veil would begin to lift in this most crucial
year .... All of us have been looking to Mars. Maybe, we should
have been paying more attention to our own backyard.
Rest assured, we will be watching developments at the South Pole with
great interest the rest of the year. After all, it is 2001.

Earth is wrapped in a donut shaped magnetic field. Circular lines
of flux continuously descend into the North Pole and emerge from the South
Pole.
The ionosphere, an electromagnetic-wave conductor, 100 kms above the
earth, consists of a layer of electrically charged particles acting as a
shield from solar winds. Natural waves are related to the electrical
activity in the atmosphere and are thought to be caused by multiple lightning
storms.
Collectively, these waves are called 'The Schumann Resonance', the
current strongest at 7.8 Hz. These are quasi-standing extremely low
frequency (ELF) waves that naturally exist in the earth's 'electromagnetic'
cavity, the space between the ground and the ionosphere. These 'earth
brainwaves' are identical to the spectrum of our brainwaves.
(1 hertz = 1 cycle per second, 1 Khz = 1000, 1 Mhz =1 million.
A 1 Hertz wave is 186,000 miles long, 10 Hz is 18,600 miles. Radio-waves
move at the speed of light.)
The Creator designed living beings to resonate to this natural frequency
pulsation in order to evolve harmoniously. The ionosphere is being
manipulated by US govt. scientists using an Alaskan transmitter called
HAARP, (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) which sends focused
radiated power to heat up sections of the ionosphere, which bounces power
down again. ELF waves from HAARP when targeted on areas can weather-engineer
and create mood changes affecting millions. The intended wattage
is 1,700 billion watts of power. A former govt. insider deduced
they want to flip the world upside down. 64 elements in the ground
modulate, with variation, the geomagnetic waves naturally coming from the
ground. The 'earth's natural brain rhythm' above is balanced with these.
These are the same minerals as the red blood corpuscles. There
is a relation between the blood and geomagnetic waves. An imbalance
between Schumann and geomagnetic waves disrupts biorhythms. These
natural geomagnetic waves are being replaced by artificially created very
low frequency (VLF) ground waves coming from GWEN Towers.
GWEN (Ground Wave Emergency Network) transmitters placed 200 miles
apart across the USA allow specific frequencies to be tailored to the geomagnetic-field
strength in each area, allowing the magnetic field to be altered.
They operate in the VLF range, with transmissions between VLF 150 and 175
KHz. They also emit UHF waves of 225 - 400 MHz. The VLF signals
travel by waves that hug the ground rather than radiating into the atmosphere.
A GWEN station transmits circularly up to 300 miles, the signal dropping
off sharply with distance. The entire GWEN system consists of, (depending
on source of data), from 58 to an intended 300 transmitters spread across
the USA, each with a tower 299-500 ft high. 300 ft copper wires
in spoke like fashion fan out from the base of the system underground,
interacting with the earth like a thin shelled conductor, radiating radio
wave energy for very long distances through the ground. USA bathes
in this magnetic field which rises to 500 ft, even going down to basements,
so everyone is mind-controlled. The whole artificial ground-wave spreads
out over USA like a web. It is easier to mind-control and hypnotize
people who are bathed in an artificial electromagnetic-wave. (Covering
the entire floor with aluminum and buying a CET cylinder from Nordic Living
Water Systems helps.) GWEN transmitters have many different functions including
controlling the weather, mind, behavior and mood control and to send synthetic-telepathy
as infrasound to those victims of US govt mind-control implants.
These work in conjunction with HAARP and the Russian Woodpecker transmitter,
similar to HAARP. The Russians openly market a small version of their
weather-engineering system called Elate, which can fine-tune weather patterns
over a 200 mile area and have the same range as the GWEN unit. One
operates at Moscow airport. The GWEN Towers shoot enormous bursts
of energy into the atmosphere in conjuction with HAARP. The website
www.cuttingedge.org wrote an expose
of how the major floods of the Mid-West USA occurred in 1993.
In summary:
Invisible enormous rivers of water, consisting of vapors that flow,
move towards the poles in the lower atmosphere. They rival the flow
of the Amazon River and are 420 to 480 miles wide and up to 4,800 miles
long. They are 1.9 miles above the earth and have volumes of 340 lbs
of water per second. There are 5 atmospheric rivers in each Hemisphere.
A massive flood can be created by damming up one of these massive vapor
rivers, causing huge amounts of rainfall to be dumped. The GWEN Towers
positioned along the areas north of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers
were turned on for 40 days and 40 nights, probably mocking the Flood of
Genesis. (This was in conjunction with HAARP, that creates a river
of electricity flowing thousands of miles through the sky and down to the
polar ice-cap, manipulating the jet-stream , like The Woodpecker.) These
rivers flooded, causing agricultural losses of $12-15 billion. HAARP
produces earthquakes by focusing on the fault lines. GWEN Towers are
on the fault lines and volcanic areas of the Pacific Northeast.
In 1963 Dr Robert Becker explored effects of external magnetic-fields
on brainwaves showing a relationship between psychiatric admissions and
solar magnetic storms. He exposed volunteers to pulsed magnetic-fields
similar to magnetic-storms, and found a similar response. US 60 Hz
electric power ELF waves vibrate at the same frequency as the human brain.
UK 50 Hz electricity emissions depress the thyroid.
Dr Andrija Puharich in the 50's/60's, found clairvoyant's brainwaves
became 8 Hz when their powers were operative. He saw an Indian Yogi
in 1956 controlling his brainwaves, deliberately shifting his consciousness
from one level to another. Puharich trained people with bio-feedback
to do this consciously, making 8 Hz waves. A healer made 8 Hz waves
pass into a patient, healing their heart trouble, her brain emitting 8
Hz . One person emitting a certain frequency can make another also
resonate to the same frequency. Our brains are extremely vulnerable
to any technology which sends out ELF waves, because they immediately start
resonating to the outside signal by a kind of tuning-fork effect.
Puharich experimented discovering 7.83 Hz (earth's pulse rate) made a person
'feel good' producing an altered-state. 10.80 Hz causes riotious behaviour
and 6.6 Hz causes depression.
Puharich made ELF waves change RNA and DNA, breaking hydrogen bonds
to make a person have a higher vibratory rate. He wanted to go beyond
the psychic 8 Hz brainwave and attract psi phenomena. James Hurtak,
who once worked for Puharich, also wrote in his book The Keys of Enoch
that ultra-violet caused hydrogen bonds to break and this raised the vibratory
rate.
Puharich presented the mental effects of ELF waves to military leaders
but they would not believe him. He gave this information to certain
dignitaries of other Western nations. The US govt burned down his
home in New York to shut him up and he fled to Mexico. However Russians
discovered which ELF frequencies did what to the human brain and began zapping
the US Embassy in Moscow on 4 July 1976 with electromagnetic-waves, varying
the signal, including focusing on 10 Hz. (10 Hz puts people into a
hypnotic state, Russians and North Koreans use this in portable mind-control
machines to extract confessions. Found also in an American church to
help the congregation believe!) This Russian "Woodpecker" signal was traveling
across the world from a transmitter near Kiev. The US Air Force identified
5 different frequencies in this compound harmonic Woodpecker was sending
through the earth and atmosphere. Nikola Tesla revealed in 1901 power
could be transmitted through the ground using ELF waves. Nothing stops
or weakens these signals. The Russians retrieved Tesla's papers when
they were returned to Yugoslavia after his death.
Puharich, in Mexico continued to monitor the Russian ELF wave signal
and the higher harmonics (5.340 MHz) in the MHz range. He met the
CIA and started working for them. He and Dr Robert Becker designed
equipment to measure these waves and their effect on the human brain.
Puharich started his work putting dogs to sleep. By 1948/49 he graduated
to monkeys, deliberately destroying their eardrums to enable them to pick
up sounds without the eardrum intact. He discovered a nerve from the
tongue could be used to facilitate hearing. He created the tooth implant,
that mind-control victims are now claiming was put in by their dentist unknowingly
to them at the time, causing them to hear 'voices in their head.' This
was placed under caps or lodged in the jaw.
Implants are now smaller than a hair's width and are injected with
vaccine and flu shots. Millions have had this done unknowingly. These
'biochips' circulate in the bloodstream and lodge in the brain, enabling
the victims to hear 'voices' via the implant. There are many kinds
of implants now and 1 in 40 are victims from 'alien abduction' statistics,
though 1 in 20 has also been gauged. The fake alien abduction, revealed
to be actually done by the US military using technology to make hologram
spaceships outside, virtual reality scenarios of going onto a spaceship with
humans in costumes, has been astutely perceived. Though real abductions
occur, the 'alien abduction' scenario has been useful to stop any further
investigation or accountability to the govt. authorities by the poor
victims who would face being thought silly.
Are we being forced to respond to an artificially induced vibratory
rate by our global masters, who want this planet to have a sudden leap
in evolution, populated by the psychically aware and therefore superior
class of human? Minus the billions of people who are 'useless eaters'
disposed of by electro magnetically-induced cancers and diseases.
The physics and engineering behind electromagnetic disease transmission
is frightening. Diseases can be reproduced as 'disease signatures'
in that the vibration of a disease can be manufactured and sent on to be
induced. (The brainwave pattern of hallucinogenic drugs can also be
copied and sent by ELF waves to induce 'visions.) Once diseases are sprayed
in the air, electromagnetic-waves attuned to the disease, using harmonics
and subharmonics will make them more lethal and infectious by sending particular
disease death-patterns.
Chemtrails sprayed daily all over USA (and other countries too) in
a white crisscross pattern in the skies contain diseases and chemicals which
affect the state of consciousness, producing apathy along with fluoridation
of the water, aspartame and drugs. Fluoride disables the willpower
section of the brain, impairing the left occipital lobe.
Fluoride and selenium enable people to 'hear voices'. ELF waves
create disturbances in the biological processes of the body and these
can be activated in the population once the diseases are introduced into
the body from the chemtrails.
Some chemtrails have been analyzed and shown to be creating cleavages
in the spacial perceptions, blocking theinteraction of various amino-acids
that relate to higher-consciousness and to increase dopamine in the brain
producing a listless, euphoric state of lower reactive mind. Basically
to fog the difference between the real and unreal and some of this could
be connected with the many UFO abductions occurring en-mass. Hundreds
have been witnessed laid out on tables and implanted. Intelligence
agencies are in league with each other behind this disablement of the masses
to such a state where they can't even fight back. In order to do what
they want they need the overall 'frequency' of each victim to function at
a specific rate below the threshold of awareness.
Could this be part of a greater plan with mind-control transmitters
covering the whole of USA and England, cleverly disguised as cell phone
towers and trees?The power from microwave towers may be turned up to such
a level that people will die.
A brain functioning at beta-level (above 13 Hz) is agitated and can't
change the perceptions if it is artificially stabilized by technology
to that frequency. This may increase body electricity in others,
giving them psychic powers. Is this linked to the new-agers claim
of a 12-14 Hz Schumann Resonance, inching us towards the 4th dimension?
Stimulants ingested globally from higher caffeine genetically-modified
plants, may also make an impact on the 'global-brain' in the ionosphere
collecting our brainwaves. New-age channellers say we are going into
4th dimensional frequency. They 'heard' the voice of some 'ET' who
told them. Some 'ETs' are local. Voices in the head were produced
using Tesla technology in prisoners in Utah. Each of the prisoners
received the same message from an 'ET'. It is easy to produce 'voices
in the head' without implants now.
A prisoner called David Fratus in Draper Prison, Utah in 1988 wrote:
"I began to receive, or hear, high-frequency tones in my ears. When
I plug my ears..the tones are still inside and become amplified.
It's as if they had become electrified echo chambers with the sounds coming
from the inside out..I began to hear voices..into my inner ears is as vivid
as though I were listening to a set of stereo headphones..with the end result
being that I am now having my brain monitored by an omnipotent computerized
mind reading or scanning machine of some sort "
Hundreds of inmates at the Gunnison Facility of the Utah State Prison,
and the State Hospital were subject to this brand of mind-control in order
to test it. In the early 1970s, this was brought out in the Utah
U.S. District Court, because inmates who had been subjected to this
Tesla-wave mind-control in prison tried unsuccessfully to fight back in
court. The University of Utah researched how Tesla-waves could be
used to manipulate the mind into hearing voices, overriding and implanting
thoughts into the mind, and reading the thoughts, as well as developing
eye-implants.
Cray computers using artificial-intelligence, monitor the victims of
govt. produced implants sending pre-recorded sound-bytes or occasional live
messages. They are picked up by satellite and relayed to whatever
large TV broadcasting antenna, GWEN tower or other antenna is near the victim.
It's believed that some types of implant pick up the signal and broadcast
the correct Tesla-wave pattern to create voices within the victim.
The tracking implant keeps the staff and the satellite system informed
every few minutes as to exactly where to send the voice signals.
The master computer and central HQ for this is reported to be Boulder, CO.
It is thought that transponders are being made there. The central
cellular computer is in the Boulder, CO National Bureau of Standards building.
AT&T is cooperating also. Several agencies work together on this.
Tim Rifat of UK wrote that "this inter-cerebral hearing is used to
drive the victim mad, as no one else can hear the voices transmitted into
the brain of the target. Transmission of auditory data directly into
the target's brains using microwave carrier beams is now common practice.
Instead of using excitation potentials, one uses a transducer to modify
the spoken word into ELF audiograms, that are then superimposed on the pulse
modulated microwave beam."
The Sydney Morning Herald on 21 March 1983 published this by Dr Nassim
Abd El-Aziz Neweigy, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Agriculture,
Moshtohor Tukh-Kalubia, Egypt. It stated: Russian satellites, controlled
by advanced computers, can send voices in one's own language interweaving
into natural thoughts to the population of choice to form diffused artificial
thought. The chemistry and electricity of the human brain can be manipulated
by satellite and even suicide can be induced. Through ferocious anti-humanitarian
means, the extremist groups are fabricated, the troubles and bloody disturbances
are instigated by advanced tele-means via Russian satellites, in many countries
in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America.
Another source says that these have been fed with the world's languages
and synthetic telepathy will reach into people's heads making people believe
God is speaking to them personally to enact the Second Coming, complete
with holograms! The Russians broke the genetic code of the human brain.
They worked out 23 EEG band-wave lengths, 11 of which were totally independent.
So if you can manipulate those 11 you can do anything.
NSA Cray computers can remotely track people just knowing the specific
EMF waves (evoked potentials from EEGs in the 30-50 Hz, 5 milliwatt range)
of a person's bioelectric-field. Each person's emissions are unique
and they can remotely track someone in public.
Evoked-potentials officially don't exist in physics but in 1873 a Scotsman,
James Clerk Maxwell discovered electromagnetic waves have 3 components.
He discovered waveforms which exist at a certain number of right-angled
rotations away from the electromagnetic-field. These are hyperspacial
components, not subject to constraints of time and space. He claimed
that electromagnetic-radiation waves were carried by the ether and the ether
was disturbed by magnetic lines of force. The hidden component is
called only 'potential' now and not normally used except for covert hyperdimensional
physics and to manipulate consciousness itself via electromagnetic-waves
covering vast areas of the planet.
Approx. one person in 3000 is sensitive to this magnetic-waveform
component, the telepathic types, (according to a writer called "Majix")
and we are all capable of tuning into this magnetic component by tuning
our subconscious to it. Maxwell's successors thought potentials were
akin to mysticism, because they believed fields contain mass which cannot
be created from apparently nothing, which is what potentials are, both literally
and mathematically - they are an accumulation or reservoir of energy and
so this hasn't been taught in mainstream physics.
Subliminal words in the correct electromagnetic-field that expresses
human consciousness, attuned to the human brain, can enter our minds at
a subconscious level. Our brain activity patterns can apparently be
measured and stored on computer by super-computers. If a victim needs
subliminal-thoughts implanted, all that is necessary is to capture, save
on computer and target the person's brainwave pattern to send them such low
frequency subliminal-messages that they actually think it is their own thoughts.
The researcher Majix says our brains are so sensitive that they are like
liquid-crystal in response to the magnetic component of the earth.
We are sensitive to earth's magnetic changes, changes in the ionospheric
cavity and reresonate those frequencies ourselves.We are incredibly complex,
beyond comprehension and a type of biocosmic transducer. He adds:
Physicists in Russia correlate the mean annual magnetic-activity,
electro-magnetic and electro-static fields on human behavior and medical
indications.They are similar to biorhythms.These magnetic frequencies can
be manipulated. Our brain waves can mimic magnetic frequencies from
very simple equipment at extremely low power levels. From half a second
to 4 seconds later, the neurons and brainwaves are driven exclusively by
the device, with power levels almost nonexistent. All one needs is
a circularly polarized antenna aimed up at the ionospheric cavity and they
can manipulate the moods of everyone within a 75 sq. mile area.
The body picks up these "new" manipulated waves and begins to correspond
immediately. "Sleep" frequency will make everyone become tired and sleep.
In 1967 an "internationally renowned scientist" and Christopher Hills,
a pendulum expert, communicated with some ETs. (It is not known
who the scientist was but at one time both Hills and Puharich were with
the medium Eileen Garrett and Puharich was communicating with ETs.)
In short, ETs communicated with us via modulated radio-waves, between
10,000 and 20,000 cycles below the known electromagnetic-spectrum.
In the carrier-wave by amplitude modulation, mixed with frequency modulation.
Single band energy, transmission power less than 25 watts. A naturally
present wave on earth the brain modulated - a wave that resonates between
the earth and the ionosphere. All humans influence the ionosphere
in this manner. A reflecting technique involved. The brain modulation
consisted of pulses, akin to those known from neuro pulses. Two humans
can use this.
Related to something akin to low frequency radar and to ultrasonic
techniques but qualified. A mixed electro-acoustic wave function.
The electromagnetic-wave induced an ultrasonic transduction in human tissue.
The brain radiation has a sonic component to it as well as an electromagnetic
component.
Electromagnetic-radiation has a sonic component and it's dependent
on the medium through which it travels. The scientist cut through months
of work. Now HAARP is slicing up the ionosphere, the world-brain,
like a microwave knife, producing long tear incisions destroying the membrane
which holds the reservoir of data accumulated by all earth's history.
A healer called Mr. A claimed to receive "Ancient Wisdom" from this
protective Magnetic-Ring of energy which stores within it all knowledge
since time began. Ruth Mongomery wrote about him in Born To Heal.
He claimed that if our energy flow is cut off from this magnetic-field,
the Universal-Supply is obstructed and we are no longer in tune and start
to get sick. The Power from this travels in split-seconds around the
world and is available to anyone who is capable of receiving it and handling
it. The waves from The Ring automatically translated into words in
his mind, as wisdom to diagnose and heal others, coming from the storehouse
of knowledge here since the beginning of time. He produced instant miracles,
knitting broken bones and removing arthritis. A photo caught forked
lightning coming from his fingers.
In Let's Talk MONTAUK, Joyce Murphy shows that experiments on the 410-420
MHz cycle have been done which could affect the"window frequency to the
human consciousness" as a whole.
http://www.beyondboundaries.org/jlm/jlmMONTAUK500.htm
"He (Preston Nichols) used his..radio equipment to learn that whenever
a 410-420 MHz cycle appeared on the air the psychic's minds would be "jammed."
Tracing the signal to Montauk Point and the red and white radar antenna
on the AF Base.."
In Encounter in the Pleiades by Peter Moon and Preston Nichols, http://www.time-travel.com/skybooks/
Preston wrote that "Dr. Nicholas Begich has picked up 435 MHz signals
connected to HAARP and that a mind control function is being employed.
He says that 400-450 MHz is the window to human consciousness because
it is our reality's background frequency."
Tim Rifat wrote in his Microwave Mind Control in the UK article http://www.brazilboycott.org/ that
cellular phones use 435 MHz.UK police use 450 MHz exclusively. Dr.
Ross Adey used this for CIA behavioral modification experiments. Police
have a vast array of antennae to broadcast this frequency all over UK.
Adey used 0.75mW/cm2 intensity of pulse modulate microwave at a frequency
of 450 MHz, with an ELF modulation to control all aspects of human behavior.
450 MHZ radar modulated at 60 Hz greatly reduced T-lymphocyte activity
to kill cultured cancer cells. A study of USA 60 Hz power lines repeated
this.

Amid all the advances in genetic manipulation, the idea of combining
the DNA of animals and humans has gone beyond the talking stage -- it's
been attempted.
Indeed, many scientists and academics are wondering how far it might
go and what the ethical implications would be. If a human were crossed
with a chimpanzee, for example, would it still be human? And if not, then
what would it be?
The first publicized case of animal-human hybrids took place in 1996
when Jose Cibelli, a scientist at the University of Massachusetts, took
DNA from his white blood cells by swabbing the inside of his cheek. He then
inserted the DNA sample into a hollowed-out cow egg.
Cibelli's experiment came to an end after a week of growing the cell
mass, he told scientists earlier this month at a panel meeting of the
National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.
This raised the question of what might have emerged had the cell mass
continued to develop.
"As far as we know, it would still look like a human being, but some
of the characteristics of individual cells might be slightly different,"
said James Cross, a molecular biologist at the University of Calgary who
attended the meeting.
If such an embryo could develop, he said, the result would resemble
a human being but carry bovine mitochondria, the energy-producing component
of every cell. This is because the cow's egg shell, or cytoplasm, contains
genetic materials known as mitochondrial DNA.
"This suggests that we can create new human-animal species," said Jeremy
Rifkin, biotechnology critic and president of the Washington-based Foundation
on Economic Trends.
Rifkin called the experiment "the most extraordinary single development
in the history of biotechnology."
Such experiments have become public only when the makers of hybrids,
who fund their operations through investor capital, apply to patent their
inventions.
In partnership with Massachusetts-based Advanced Cell Technology, Cibelli
came out from under a shroud of secrecy in 1998 when the firm applied to
patent the alleged invention.
Last October, Greenpeace Germany dug up a patent claim for a similar
human-animal hybrid, only this time it involved a pig. U.S.-based Biotransplant
and Australia-based Stem Cell Sciences grew a pig-human embryo to 32 cells
before ending its life.
"If the embryo had lived, it would be 95% human," said Michael Khoo,
a genetic engineering campaigner for Greenpeace's Toronto branch. "The
possibilities are not only frightening, but it's unknown just how many other
similar patent applications are out there."
Meanwhile, critics and futurists are having a field day speculating
on the future of biotechnology.
"Chimpanzees share between 95% and 98% of our genes, so the prospect
of creating a human-chimpanzee hybrid are highly probable," Rifkin said.
"The question becomes: What percentage of human genes will it take before
human rights kick in? Would a hybrid have to look and talk like a human
before it can get human rights?"
While the concept of making and owning such a creation for 20 years
under patent law is controversial to say the least, the science behind
combining animal eggs and human DNA could be useful, said Cross. "In the
case of Dolly, it took 277 eggs to get the sheep. In normal IVF programs,
the number of eggs you get usually ranges between five and 10. So, to solve
a potential shortage, some scientists have considered using an egg from a
different species to house human DNA."
While such an attempt to improve the egg supply may be scientifically
possible, people are not ready for such a brave new world which involves
crossing the species barrier, said Diane Cox, who chairs the medical genetics
department at the University of Alberta. "Right now, technology is way
ahead of ethics. The Canadian population is worried enough about relatively
trivial things, let alone such a bizarre concept."
[Unfortunately this technology will be WIDELY
accepted by the millions of mindless individuals who can't or won't think
for themselves. The sad thing about this technology is that it will probably
become mandatory to receive or use certain services!]
'CYBORG' PROFESSOR CONTINUES TO CAUSE A STIR
WORLDWIDE Sept. 13, 2000 Wired News reported:
"Peddling his own brand of pessimistic futurism
that predicts humanity's imminent enslavement to intelligent machines,
Kevin Warwick is one of the world's most famous living scientists… Last
year Warwick made a huge splash by declaring himself the world's first cyborg
after a surgeon implanted a radio transmitter under his skin. In February,
he was featured on the cover of Wired magazine for a story about a new chip
implant that may allow him, among other things, to have trans-Atlantic cybersex

SELF-REPLICATING ROBOTS MANUFACTURED
August 31, 2000 The Washington Post reported:
"Scientists in the burgeoning field of artificial life have reached a
major milestone, creating a computerized system that automatically creates,
evolves, improves and finally builds a variety of simple mobile creatures
without any significant human intervention. The ‘robotic life forms’
that sprang into being at Brandeis University are a few inches long, comprise
a dozen or two-dozen plastic parts and have rudimentary nervous systems
made of wire. They do only one trick--crudely shoving themselves,
inchworm-like, along a horizontal surface using miniature motors. By
the standards of even the cheapest automated toys, that may not seem like
much. But the creatures described in today's issue of the journal
Nature were not constructed, planned, designed or even imagined by people.
Every step--except for a couple of trivial hardware connections--was done
by computer.
Their advent, Brandeis researchers Jordan B.
Pollack and Hod Lipson say, marks ‘the first time robots have been robotically
designed and robotically fabricated.’ In effect, their existence tests
the ability of man-made systems to mimic one of the most fundamental processes
in nature: evolution through classic Darwinian, survival-of-the-fittest
selection..."
NASA PROJECT BLUE BEAM
Source: International Free Press in Canada.
The International Free Press network is not
a religious group, neither is it a political organization, but an independent
worldwide investigation press agency in the field of politics, economics,
medical and military.
The infamous NASA Blue Beam Project has four
different steps in order to implement the new age religion with the antichrist
at its head. We must remember that the new age religion is the very foundation
for the new world government, without which religion the dictatorship of
the new world order is completely impossible. I'll repeat that: Without a
universal belief in the new age religion, the success of the new world order
will be impossible!
That is why the Blue Beam Project is so important
to them, but has been so well hidden until now.
The first step concerns the breakdown of all
archeological knowledge. It deals with the setup with artificially created
earthquakes at certain precise locations on the planet where, supposedly,
new discoveries will finally explain to all people the error of all fundamental
religious doctrines. The falsifaction of this information will be used
to make all nations believe that their religious doctrines have been misunderstood
for centuries and misinterpreted. Psychological preparations for that first
step have already been implemented with the film, "2001: A Space Oddessy;"
the StarTrek series, and "Star Wars;" all of which deal with invasions from
space and the coming together of all nations to repel the invaders. The
last films, "Jurrassic Park," deals with the theories of evolution, and
claim God's words are lies.
What is important to understand in the first
step is that those earthquakes will hit at different parts of the world where
scientific and archeological teachings have indicated that arcane mysteries
have been buried. By those types of earthquakes, it will possible for scientists
to re-discover those arcane mysteries which will be used to discredit all
fundamental religious doctrines.
This is the first preparation for the plan for
humanity because what they want to do is destroy the beliefs of all Christians
and Muslims on the planet. To do that, they need some false "proof" from
the far past that will prove to all nations that their religions have all
been misinterpreted and misunderstood.
The second step involves a gigantic "space show"
with three-dimensional optical holograms and sounds, laser projection of
multiple holographic images to different parts of the world, each receiving
a different image according to predominating regional national religious
faith.
This new "god's" voice will be speaking in all
languages. In order to understand that, we must study various secret services'
research done in the last 25 years. The Soviet's have perfected an advanced
computer, even exported them, and fed them with the minute physio-psycological
particulars based on their studies of the anatomy and electro-mechanical
composition of the human body, and the studies of the electrical, chemical
and biological properties of the human brain.
These computers were fed, as well, with the languages
of all human cultures and their meanings. The dialects of all cultures have
been fed into the computers from statellite transmissions. The Soviets began
to feed the computers with objective programs like the ones of the new
messiah. It also seems that the Soviets&emdash;the new world order people
have resorted to suicidal methods with the human society by allocating electronic
wavelengths for every person and every society and culture to indice suicidal
thoughts if the person doesn't comply with the dictates of the new world
order.
There are two different aspects of step two.
The first is the "space show." Where does the space show come from? The space
show, the holographic images will be used in a simulation of the ending
during which all nations will be shown scenes which will be the fulfillment
of that which they desire to verify the prophecies and adversary events.
These will be projected from satellites onto the sodium layer about 60 miles
above the earth. We see tests every once in a while, but they are called
UFOs and "flying saucers."
The result of these deliberately staged events
will be to show the world the new "christ," the new messiah, Matraia,
for the immediate implementation of the new world religion. Enough truth
will be foisted upon an unsuspecting world to hook them into the lie.
"Even the most learned will be deceived."
The project has perfected the ability for some
device to lift up an enormous number of people, as in a rapture, and whisk
the entire group into a never-never land. We see tests of this device
in the abduction of humans by those mysterious little alien greys. who
snatch people out of their beds and through windows into waiting "mother
ships."
The calculated resistance to the universal
religion and the new messiah and the ensuing holy wars will result in the
loss of human life on a scale never imagine before in all of human history.
The Blue Beam Project will pretend to be the
universal fulfillment of the prophecies of old, as major an event as that
which occurred 2,000 years ago. In principle, it will make use of the skies
as a movie screen (on the sodium layer at about 60 miles) as space-based
laser-generating satellites project simultaneous images to the four corners
of the planet in every language and dialect according to the region. It deals
with the religious aspect of the new world order and is deception and seduction
on a massive scale.
Computers will coordinate the satellites and
software already in place will run the sky show. Holographic images are based
on nearly identical signals combining to produce an image or hologram with
deep perspective which is equally applicable to acoustic ELF, VLF and LF
waves and optical phenomena.
Specifically, the show will consist of multiple
holographic images to different parts of the world, each receiving a different
image according to the specific national, regional religion. Not a single
area will be excluded.
With computer animation and sounds appearing
to emanate from the very depths of space, astonished ardent followers of
the various creeds will witness their own returned messaihs in convincing
lifelike reality.
Then the projections of Jesus, Mohammed, Buddah,
Krishna, etc., will merge into one after correct explanations of the mysteries
and revelations will have been disclosed. This one god will, in fact,
be the antichrist, who will explain that the various scriptures have been
misunderstood and misinterpreted, and that the religions of old are responsible
for turning brother against brother, and nation against nation, therefore
old religions must be abolished to make way for the new age new world religion,
representing the one god antichrist they see before them.
Naturally, this superbly staged falsification
will result in dissolved social and religious disorder on a grand scale,
each nation blaming the other for the deception, setting loose millions of
programmed religious fanatics through demonic possession on a scale never
witnessed before.
In addition, this event will occur at a time
of profound worldwide political anarchy and general tumult created by some
worldwide catastrophe. The United Nation even now plans to use Beethovan's
"Song of Joy" as the anthem for the introduction for the new age one world
religion.
If we put this space show in parallel with the
star wars program we get this: combination of electromagnetic radiation
and hypnosis have also been the subject of intensive research. In 1974, for
instance, researcher G. F. Shapits, said of one of the research proposals
that, "...in this investigation it will be shown that the spoken words of
the hypnotist may also be converted by electromagnetic energy directly and
to the subconscious part of the human brain without employing any mechanical
device for receiving or transcording the message, and without the person
exposed to such influence having a chance to control the information input
consciously. It may be expected that the rationized behavior will be considered
to have been taken out of their own free will."
Anyone investigating so-called "channelling"
phenomena right now would be wise to take this area of research into consideration.
It will be noted that those who think of themselves as "channellers" has
escalated rapidly since this type of research was conducted.
It is uncanny how similar their messages are,
despite which entity they claim to be their source of divine guidance.
It would suggest any individual considering the credibility of channelled
information should be discerning and critically evaluate where the message
they are receiving originates, and if the messages are specifically beneficially
to the new world order.
The Sydney Morning newspaper published an item
on March 21st, 1983 which announced that the Soviets were invading the
human mind, the article having been submitted to the foreign editor by Doctor
Nathan Abnuengy , assistant professor in the faculty of agriculture in Asia.
It is worth quoting the article at length even though his grammer is a little
old.
This article relates to the Soviets who created
the supercomputer we were discussing earlier and which is really important
because these types of computers can be run through satellites and through
space. The computers were fed with all the different languages and their
meanings, the dialect of all peoples were fed to the computers with objective
programs.
But we are no longer talking about the Soviets;
we are talking about the United Nations, the minions of the new world
order, who are feeding the computers with the necessary information.
The editor of the column in which the article
appeared even states that the piece made points too important to ignore.
I think it is possible that the persons who have created this mega-mind
control program could sell the software to an organization and not be aware
that the client might use the program and data to enslave all of humankind.
Just imagine how far they have advanced since that article was published!
The advancement of techniques propel us toward
the third step in the Blue Beam Project that goes along with the telepathic
and electronically augmented two-way communication where ELF, VLF and
LF waves will reach each person from within his or her own mind, convincing
each of them that their own god is speaking to them from the very depths
of their own soul.
Such rays from satellites are fed from the memories
of computers that have stored massive data about every human on earth, and
their languages. The rays will then interlace with their natural thinking
to form what we call diffuse artifical thought.
That kind of technology goes into the 1970s,
1980s, and 1990s research where the human brain has been compared to a computer.
Information is fed in, processed, integrated and then a response is formulated
and acted upon.
Mind controllers manipulate information the
same way a computer for grammer manipulates information.
In January 1991, the University of Arizona
hosted a conference entitled, "The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Current
and Emergent Phenomena and Biomolecular Systems." What does that mean exactly?
It means this: We refer to one paper that was
delivered at the conference which stands out for its different attitude
towards the development under discussion at that time. It was, in effect,
a protest and chilling warning to the attending scientists about the potential
abuse of their research findings.
Their findings, of course, stated that the United
States has already developed communications equipment which can make the
blind see, the deaf hear and the lame walk. It can relieve the terminally
ill from pain without the use of drugs or surgery. I'm not talking about
science fiction.
A man might retain the use of all his faculties
right up to the moment of his death. This communications equipment depends
upon a completely new way of looking at the human brain and neuro-muscular
systems and radiation pulses at ultra-low frequencies.
Some of this equipment is now operational within
the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and Federal Bureau of Investigation.
It will never be used to make the blind see, the deaf hear and the lame
walk because it is central to the domestic political agenda and foreign
policy of George Bush and his puppetmasters of the new world order.
Domestically, the new communications equipment
is being used to torture and murder person who match profiles imagined
to be able to screen a given population for terrorists; to torture and
murder citizens who belong to organizations which promote tolerance and
peace and development in Central America; to torture and murder citizens
who belong to organizations who oppose the development and deployment of
nuclear weapons, and to create a race of slave cult automatons, or what
is popularly called "the Manchurian Candidates."
Overseas experimentation is taking place on
hostages held by the United States and Canada, Great Britian, Australia,
Germany, Finland and France. Additionally, there has been a long series of
bizarre suicides among British computer scientists, all of whom have had
some connection to the United States Navy.
What it is possible to ask before such a psychology
of terror is this: would any government, corporation or psychiatrist wilfully
promote such horror today? The answer is quite obviously, "Yes." Government
agencies and the corporations that work with them toward new world order
are prepared to promote anything that will help them achieve their objective
of total social control.
As for the question of why: For one thing, if
you terrify the public and make them fear for their safety, they will allow
you to implement draconian law enforcement practice, disarm them and keep
extensive records on them, and they only have to tell you that it is all
to protect you, of course.
Secondly, it promotes the decay of the present
democratic forms of political systems, and leads societies to search for
alternative methods of political ideology. Of course, the alternative has
already been planned. It is called the new world order and it will not
have your safety or interests at heart. As George Bush said: "Read my lips."
Fear has always been used by powerful elite
to control and subjugate the masses. The old maxim, divide and conquer is
being played out to the limit worldwide to ensure that everyone is frightened
for their personal safety, and to be suspicious of everyone else. This,
too, is mind control.
To go further in regard to the new technology
which is at the base of the NASA Blue Beam Project, we have to consider
this statement by psychologist James V. McConnell which was published in
a 1970s issue of Psychology Today. He said, "The day has come when we can
combine sensory deprevation with drug hypnosis and astute manipulation of
reward and punishment to gain almost absolute control over an individual's
behavior. It should then be possible to achieve a very rapid and highly effective
type of positive brainwashing that would allow us to make dramatic changes
in a person's behavior and personality."
Now, when we talked before about that kind of
ray and the telpathic and electronically augmented communication, the kind
of rays that are fed from the memories of computers which store massive
data about humans, human language and dialects, and we said that the people
will be reached from within, making each person to believe that his own god
is speaking directly from within his or her own soul, we refer to that kind
of technology and that kind of thinking that same psychologist was espousing,
that is: we should be trained from birth that we should all do what society
wants us to do rather than what we want to do for ourselves; that because
they have the technology to do it, no one should now be allowed to have
their own individual personality.
This statement and these ideas are important
because it is the basic teaching of the United Nations that no one owns his
or her own personality. And that same psycologist claims that no one has
any say-so about the kind of personality they acquire and there is no reason
to believe you have the right to refuse to acquire a new personality if your
old personality is considered "antisocial."
What is important in this declaration is that
the new world order will be set up over the current system , meaning the
old way of thinking and behavior and religion will be considered the "old"
and incorrect way of thinking and that they can change it at one of the
eradication camps of the United Nations to make sure that anyone with this
"antisocial" behavior will be disposed of quickly so that other modified
individuals will be able to fulfill the needs and agendas of the new world
order without being distracted by the truth.
Could this be the greatest mind control project
ever? The NASA Blue Beam Project is the prime directive for the new world
order's absolute control over the populations of the entire earth. I would
suggest you investigate this information carefully before dismissing it
as fanatic lunacy.
If we go further in the different reports we
have presented, we find that the mind control operations and technology include
a transmitter that broadcasts at the same frequency as the human nervous
system, which transmitter is manufactured by the Loral Electro-Optical System
in Pasadena, California. Loral, a major defense contractor, has previously
conducted research on directed energy weapons for Lt. Gen. Leonard Perez
of the U. S. Airforce who was searching for a weapon that could implant messages
into the minds of the enemy while urging his own troops on to superhuman
deeds of valor!
The device employs electromagnetic radiation
of gigahertz frequencies pulsed at extremely low frequencies (ELF). It is
used to torture people both physically and mentally from a distance. Weapons
of this type are thought to have been used against a British woman protesting
the presence of American Cruise Missiles at Greenham Common Airbase during
the 1970s. This weapon can be used to induce total sensory deprevation by
broadcasting signals into the auditory nerve at such high power that it
blocks the ability of the individual to hear themselves think! The process
employed by such ELF technology are described in various U. S. Defense Department
publications, including one entitled, " The Electromagnetic Spectrum and
Low Intensity Conflict," by Captain Paul E. Tyler, Medical Commandant, U.
S. Navy, which is included in a collection entitled, "Low Intensity Conflict
and Modern Technology Edict," by Lt. Col David G. Dean, USAF. The paper was
delivered in 1984 and the collection published 1986 by Air University Press,
Maxwell Airforce Base, Alabama.
Another pulse microwave device can deliver audible
signals directly to an individual while remaining undetectable to anyone
else. The technology is very simple and can be built by using an ordinary
police radar gun. The microwave beam generated by the device is modulated
at audio frequencies and can broadcast messages directly into the brain.
Now here we come to the NASA Blue Beam Project.
The broadcasting of subliminal two-way communication and images from the
depths of space correspond directly to that kind of technology.
In his book, "The Body Electric," Nobel Prize
nominee Robert Baker describes a series of experiments conducted in the
early 1960s by Allen Frie where this phenomena was demonstrated as well
as later experiments conducted in 1973 at the Walter Reed Army Institute
of Research by Dr. Joseph C. Sharp who personally underwent tests in which
he proved he could hear and understand messages delivered to him in an echo-free
isolation chamber via a pulsed microwave audiogram which is an analog of
the word's sound vibration beamed into his brain.
Baker then goes on to state, "Such a device has
obvious application for covert operations designed to drive a target crazy
with unknown voices or deliver undetectable instructions to a programmed
assassin."
Now figure out when we hear that voice from the
new world messiah who would be speaking from space to all of the sane people
of the earth who might give instructions to zealots and religious fanatics,
we would see hysteria and social mayhem on a scale never witnessed before
on this planet.
No police forces in the world, even as a combined
front, could deal with the disorder that will follow!
A 1978 book entitled, "Microwave Auditory Effect
and Application," by James C. Lynn describes how audible voices can be
broadcast directly into the brain. This technology could actually allow
the blind to see and the deaf to hear. Instead, it has been turned into
a weapon to enslave the world.
Allen Frie also reports that he could speed up,
slow down or stop the hearts of isolated frogs by synchronizing the pulsed
rate of a microwave beam with the heart itself. According to Robert Baker,
similar results have been obtained using live frogs, which shows that it
is technically feasible to produce heart attacks with rays designed to penetrate
the human chest.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Both the author of this report
and his colleague died of "heart attacks" only days apart one in Canada
and the other while visiting Ireland. Neither had a history of heart problems.
I should mention also that Dr. Baker does NOT
participate in such research.
It has been demonstrated that focused ultra
high frequency UHF electromagnetic energy beams can be used to induce considerable
agitation and muscular activity or induce muscular weakness and lethargy.
Microwaves can also be used to burn human skin
and aid the effect of drugs, bacteria and poisons or affect the function
of the entire brain. These effects were all revealed at length by the CIA
on September 21, 1977 in testimony before the Subcommittee on Health and
Scientific Research. Dr. Sidney Gottlieb . who directed the MK-Ultra program
at that time was forced to discussed the scope of the CIA's research to
find techniques of activation of the human organism by remote electronic
means.
So this is something that exists right now, that
has been pursued to its highest degree, that can be used from space to reach
any person, anyplace on the face of the earth.
If we go deeper in that process of mind control
over the people we find that the equipment and technology has been used
to influence politics in a much more direct fashion.
Michael Dukakis, the Democrat candidate running
against George Bush in the 1988 election was targeted with microwave technology
in order to impede his public speaking performance once the the public
opinion polls showed he posed a serious threat to Bush's election prospects.
He also claims that the equipment was used against
Kitty Dukakis and drove her to the brink of suicide.
In the Disneyland world of U. S. politics,
a presidential candidate with problems such as these, would obviously lose
their race to the White House.
In the December 1980 edition of the U. S. Army
Journal, called the Military Review, a column by Lt. Col John B. Alexander,
entitled, "The New Mental Battlefield: Beam Me Up, Spock," provides further
insight into the technical capabilities at the disposal of the comptroller.
He writes, "Several examples will demonstrate areas in which progress
have been made. The transferrence of energy from one organism to another;
the ability to heal or cause disease to be transmitted over a distance,
thus inducing illness or death from no apparent cause; telepathic behavior
modification which includes the ability to induce hypnotic states up to
a distance of 1,000 kilometers have been reported. The use of telepathic
hypnosis also holds great potential. This capability could allow agents
to be deeply planted with no conscious knowledge of their programming.
In movie terms, the Manchurian Candidate lives, and does not even require
a telephone call.
"Other mind-to-mind induction techniques are
being considered. If perfected this capability could allow the direct transferrence
of thought via telepathy from one mind or group of minds to a select target
audience. The unique factor is that the recipient will not be aware that
thought has been implanted from an external source. He or she will believe
the thoughts are original."
This is exactly what we were talking about.
The third step in the NASA Blue Beam Project
is called the Telepathic Electronic Two-Way Communication. Lt. Col Alexander's
article continues: "If it is possible to feed artificial thought into
the multigenic field via satellite, the mind control of the entire planet
is now possible. An individual's only resistance would be to constantly
question the motivation behind their thoughts and not act upon thoughts
which they consider to be outside their own ideological, religious and
moral boundaries."
Once again, it is wise to consider how television,
advertising, modern education and various types of social pressure are
used to manipulate those boundaries.
It has been reported by Lt. Col Alexander who
said, in the summary of his Military Review article, "The information
on those kinds of technologies presented here would be considered by some
to be ridiculous since it does not conform to their view of reality. But
some people still believe the world is flat."
Now, this means a lot, because if people do not
believe this kind of technology is possible, or that it is science fiction,
those people put themselves in great jeopardy, because on the night when
those thousand stars will shine from space, during the night when the new
messiah will be presented to the world, they will not be prepared and will
have no time to prepare to save themselves against that kind of technology.
They don't believe and they won't take time to prepare.
Step Four of the NASA Blue Beam Project.
The fourth step concerns the universal supernatural
manifestation with electronic means. It contains three different orientations.
One is to make mankind believe that an alien (off-world) invasion is about
to occur at every major city on earth in order to provoke each major nation
to use its nuclear weapons in order to strike back. This way, the United
Nations Court will require that all those nations which launched nuclear
weapons to disarm when the invasion is shown to have been false.
And how will the United Nations know that the
invasion was false? They will have staged it, of course.
The second is to make the Christians believe
that the rapture is going to occur with the supposed divine intervention
of an alien (offworld) civilization coming to rescue earthlings from a
savage and merciless demon. Its goal will be to dispose of all significant
opposition to the implementation of the new world order in one major stroke,
actually within hours of the beginning of the sky show!
The third orientation in the fourth step is a
mixture of electronic and supernatural forces. The waves used at that time
will allow "supernatural forces" to travel through optical fibers, coaxial
cables (TV) electrical and phone lines in order to penetrate to everyone
at once through major appliances. Embedded chips will already be in place.
The goal of this deals with global Satanic ghosts projected all around the
world in order to push all populations to the edge of hysteria and madness,
to drown them into a wave of suicide, murder and permanent psychological
disorders.
After the night of the thousand stars, worldwide
populations will ready for the new messiah to re-estabish order and peace
at any cost, even at the cost of abdication of freedom.
The techniques used in the fourth step is exactly
the same usd in the past in the USSR to force the people to accept Communism.
The same technique will be used by the United Nations to implement the
new world religion and the new world order.
A lot of people ask when this is going to happen
and how they will accomplish the visons of the night of a thousand stars,
and the events that will point to the days when it will begin.
According to the many reports we have received,
we believe it will begin with some kind of worldwide economic disaster.
Not a complete crash, but enough to allow them to introduce some kind of
in-between currency before they introduce their electronic cash to replace
all paper or plastic money.
The in-between currency will be used to force
anyone with savings to spend or turn in their cash because they understand
that people who have money and are not dependent upon them might be the
very ones who will mount an insurrection against them. If everyone is broke,
no one can fund a war of any kind, paper currency will cease to exist. This
is one of the first signs.
But to implement the worldwide electronic money
system, everyone in the world who might have money in the future, will
have to have a way to transfer money electronically. Before that time, everyone
will have spent, before the year 2,000, all of their cash, reserves and
assets. Everyone has to be 100% dependent upon the Council for their existence.
To prevent any kind of independence, the new
world order has already implanted micro chips in wild animals, birds, fish,
etc. Why? They want to make certain that the people who will not accept the
new world order will not be able to hunt or fish any where in the world.
If they try, they will be tracked and traced by satellites, then hunted down
and imprisoned or killed.
The new world order is already changing the laws
of all nations to make everyone dependent upon a single food and vitamin
supply. They are changing laws about religion and psychiatric disorders
in order to identify anyone who is potentially threatening to the NWO. Those
who are found defective will be sent to eradication camps where their organs
will be taken and sold to the highest bidders. Those who are not killed
outright will be used as slave labor or used in medical experiments.
The goal of a dictatorship is to control everyone,
everywhere on the planet, ruthlessly and without exception.
That's why the new technology being introduced
everywhere is a technology for the control of the people. The technology
of the 1940s and 1950s was used to help the people have an easier and more
productive life. The new technology is designed and built to track down
and control people everywhere. This technology is being manufactured for
a specific purpose and to refuse to see and recognize that purpose , which
is to enslave the entire populations of the world, is to deny the emergence
of the antichrist and the establishment of the new world order religion
and government.
If you cannot see, if you cannot learn, if you
cannot understand, then you and your family and friends will succumb to
the fires of the crematoria that have been built in every state and every
major city on earth, built to deal with you.
No one is safe in a totalitarian police state!
THE COMING AGE OF THE CYBORG
May 4, 2000
MSNBC reported: “’If I had to look to the end of the century and say
who’s going to be running the show,’ muses Kevin Warwick, ‘I’d say humans
would come in a poor third.’ And who’d be first and second? ‘Intelligent
machines, and then cyborgs’ he says. ‘They’re the best humans can come
up with by linking themselves with technology.’...With the help of a 20-strong
international research team, Warwick has been working on ways to ‘upgrade’
himself. How, you ask? By effectively ‘hot-wiring’ his body and mind to
a computer… Warwick first volunteered himself as a cyborg guinea pig in
1998, when he had a silicon chip transponder surgically implanted in his
left arm...Looking back, Warwick admits that the whole experiment ‘smacked
of Big Brother.’ He insists, however, that it’s important to raise awareness
of what’s already technically possible so that we can remain in the driver’s
seat...‘I have a sneaking suspicion,’ he says, ‘that as long as we’re gaining
things, we’ll yell “Let’s have Big Brother now!” It’s when we’re locked
in and the lights start going off — then Big Brother is a problem.’ Now
that the little scar on his left arm is nearly invisible, the fully human
Warwick is busy planning another stint as a cyborg. But this time, the stakes
are much higher...” Continued on next post
“...In the summer of 2001, neurosurgeon Ali Jamous at Stoke Mandeville
Hospital will connect a transponder implant directly to the nerve fibers
in Warwick’s arm...Warwick’s first aim is to send and digitally store the
electronic signals his brain sends to his hand when he wiggles his index
finger. ‘It’ll be a bit like tapping into a phone conversation,’ he enthuses.
Then, sometime later, he will send the computer’s stored signal for ‘move
index finger’ back — via the chip — to his brain and hand. Warwick and his
team hope, and believe, that his finger will respond, wiggling just as it
did before. ‘The bigger unknown is what my brain will make of it all,’ says
Warwick, who goes on to explain the considerable risks of such a direct link
to his computer. The brain will be receiving its own signals back again,
from the outside. And they may be a bit distorted by background ‘noise’.
So what will it do? ‘We simply don’t know, but the worst case is that my
brain will say, “no, I can’t cope with this” and switch off. Then, I won’t
be doing that experiment — or much else —again.’...”
Robot Taxis, Human Cameras, Fiction or Fact?
Updated 12:01 PM ET May 1, 2000
LONDON (Reuters) - Robot controlled taxis and journalists with
cameras implanted in their eyes will be commonplace by 2010, British engineers
said Monday.
Engineers at Roke Manor Research, a research and development
unit owned by Germany's Siemens, also predicted the end of cash and credit
cards, the advent of security systems based on fingerprints and the development
of factories in space.
"We are working on many of these future technologies now, and
all of these scenarios are technically possible already," Ian Stewart, chief
technical officer at Roke Manor Research, said in a statement.
In the future envisaged by the research team, humans will be
ferried home in robot-controlled taxis fitted with "auto-drive" systems
which maintain safe distances and respond to signals from beacons.
Television news will be revolutionized as bionic reporters provide
live images via sensors embedded in their optic nerves and transmit them
through tiny mobile phone transmitters implanted in their shoulders.
The humble mobile phone which has seen such development over
the last few years will become yet more powerful, replacing cash and credit
cards.
Tills will be able to communicate directly with mobile phones
and deduct the cost of purchases from a phone-based bank account.
Pin-numbers, passwords and signatures will fall into disuse
as fingerprint and retinal scans are used to identify individuals. The new
security systems would enable more secure cross-border Internet trade, the
engineers added.
Meanwhile, the technology to power these devices may well be
produced in space.
"Between 2008 and 2010, the first factory in space will be shipped
gradually from earth in modular sections. Robots...will work on the production
line overseen by a small team of humans," the research team predicted.
The absence of gravity in space makes manufacturing pure crystals
easier than on Earth and hence space factories may be used to manufacture
silicon chips and drugs, they said.
Online elections, electronic school books, downloadable films,
live concerts and sports events will also contribute to a more technology-based
future.
EARTHQUEST NEWS from Andrew Collins

From: "Eden - The Andrew Collins Web Site"
<webmaster@andrew-collins.co.uk>
A Newsletter from Andrew Collins. Vol. 4, No. 2,
Summer 2000
Spring is well and truly upon us and it is time for me to let you know
what’s happening in my curious world. This year’s Questing Conference, scheduled
to take place at the Institute of Education, Bedford Way, off Russell Square,
London WC1 on Saturday, 14 October is set to be the best ever. The most
recent addition to the list of speakers is Michael Cremo, the author of
the breath-taking book FORBIDDEN ARCHAEOLOGY. He will argue the case for
the presence on earth of humanity many millions of years before the date
accepted by palaeontologists. He will present astounding evidence of how
the discovery of human remains and fashioned artefacts in different geological
strata on every continent has been systematically ignored and suppressed
by Darwinian scientists. All I can say is that I saw him present this important
lecture recently at the San Marino conference, which took place on 25/26
March, and, let me tell you, it is not to be missed by anyone. For example,
there is the case of the many flint tools found by nineteenth-century gold
miners tunnelling through solid rock inside Tuolumne Table Mountain, California.
These priceless artefacts were recorded in 1880 in a book entitled THE AURIFEROUS
GRAVELS OF THE SIERRA NEVADA, penned by California’s state geologist Dr
J. D. Whitney. The problem here is that the rock strata in question belonged
to the Eocene epoch, which corresponds to a time-frame between 65 and 38
millions years ago.
Then there is the case of the fossilised footprints of modern man uncovered
in 1979 at a site near Laetoli in Tanzania by respected paleontologist Mary
Leakey, the mother of Richard Leakey. The rock layer in question was 3.7
million, the date given for the oldest known hominid, or ancestor of modern
man. Yet this so-called Australopithecus had toes one and half times larger
than our own and big toes that turned outwards at an angle. In no way could
this hominid account for the footprints found by Mary Leakey.
Michael recounts the plight of American geologist Virginia Steen-McIntyre
who was called in to date stone artefacts and human remains found at two
site excavations in Mexico - Hueyatlaco and El Horno. After careful consideration
of the rock strata in question she concluded that the finds came from
a layer corresponding to 250,000 years ago. Archaeologists only believe
that ancient man entered the American continent from northeast Asia around
30,000 years ago. Not only was she ostracised for her statements, but the
archaeologist in charge of excavations ignored her findings completely
and instead claimed that the finds were just 20,000 years old based on
a Carbon-14 date achieved several kilometres away!
I could go on. There is so much you don’t know about, and we are not
talking here about a few odd reports of weird artefacts being found by chance
and reported in books by the likes of Erich von Daniken. There are literally
hundreds of well-attested cases where out-of-place artefacts have been
found in geological strata they simply should not have been in. Archaeologists
and paleontologists dismiss all such claims, and say that any genuine cases
where artefacts or human remains have been found at a level deeper than
they should be is as a result of intrusive burial. This is where holes are
dug to bury the dead and then, when they are discovered in modern times,
it is assumed that the remains date to the age of the strata in which they
are found. Yet Michael Cremo can show that there are well-attested cases
of human remains being found in strata beneath hundreds of metres of solid
rock!
Anyway, hear these and many other fascinating stories when Michael
Cremo delivers his lecture at the Questing Conference in October. The other
speakers are as per the red flyer (which shows, by way of a backdrop, interments
inside the Citadel, which houses the Temple of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan
in Central Mexico as caught on camera by transoceanic specialist David Eccott).
The rest of the line up is COLIN WILSON on the age of civilisation; MICHAEL
BAIGENT on lost civilisations, shamanism and the roots of Hermetica; VICTOR
CLUBE on the origins of catastrophe myths; GRAHAM PHILLIPS on Egypt, the
Early Church and the Marian Conspiracy; ANDREW COLLINS on the Feathered Serpents;
MICHAEL CARMICHAEL on Egypt, Sacred Drugs and the Blue Water Lily; plus
Special Guest from the United States noted archaeologist NEIL STEEDE on Giza,
Mexico and the enigma of Tiahuanaco. You will recall from a previous EARTHQUEST
NEWS that Neil Steede has been able to confirm archaeologist Arthur Posnansky’s
early dating for the Kalasasaya palace court at Tiahuanaco, near Lake Titicaca,
in Bolivia. Using hi-tech measuring equipment, Steede has been able to determine
that the solstitial alignments over its eastern gate correspond to a date
of between 9000 and 7000 BC, slightly later than Posnansky’s proposed 15,000
to 10,000 BC. Perhaps Neil is just trying to be necessarily conservative
in his estimates. His findings do not necessarily mean that the structure
dates to this early period only that the orientation of the court reflects
this distant age (conventional dating places the construction of the city
at around 2000 years ago, with the earliest occupation some 3,500 years ago).
I look forward immensely to Neil’s lecture.
Tickets for the Questing Conference are priced at £28 each. They
are available from the PO Box using the reply coupon on the web site accompanying
the flyer or via the Credit Card Hotline on 020.7405.2120. By the way, this
hotline service is in fact Atlantis Bookshop in Museum St., London, so
don’t be surprised when you hear them say this name. It is also my pleasure
to announce that the conference is being sponsored by NEXUS magazine, who
along with Atlantis Bookshop will have bookstalls on the day.
ANTARCTICAN ANTIQUITY
Look at any world map showing the migrational routes of early man and
Antarctica is always avoided. Scholars will tell you that the ice-bound
continent was never occupied due to its extreme weather conditions and inaccessibility.
However, after many years of speculation about alleged structures and artefacts
being found and hushed up on Antarctica (none of which are likely to be
true, I might add) comes better news that ancient man did once inhabit the
region. This information was given to me by Italian engineer and writer Flavio
Barbiero following his lecture on Antarctica, Atlantis and a proposed pole
shift following an impact event in around 9500 BC (although I would context
this date, suggesting that the event occurred 8500 +/- 500 years) at San
Marino. He tells me that the earliest possible evidence dates back to 1903.
In that year the Swedish explorer Carl Larsen landed on Seymour Island,
which lies in the Weddell Sea beyond the continent’s north-west coast.
In an area of exposed land he is said to have come across various fossils,
showing a prior warmer climate, as well as numerous small cylinders and
balls of clay, which appeared to be of artificial construction. Flavio and
his colleagues have been trying to follow up this story, with one of them
even travelling to Sweden to interview Larsen’s descendents. Although the
artefacts were destroyed when the family home was lost in a fire, copies of
Larsen’s report, which includes an account of the discovery of the strange
objects, has been found. I have requested a copy of this report and will follow
up this story in due course.
In addition to the strange cylinders and clay balls found on Seymour
Island, it seems that sediment cores extracted by a Chilean research vessel
from the sea-bottom beneath the ice off South Shetland Island, north of
Antarctica, produced more evidence of a human presence in prehistoric times.
In two separate cores flint tools of unquestionable human manufacture were
found. How they might have come to be there is open to speculation. Yet
the fact that they were found in cores taken from different locations suggests
that there must be further evidence of human life so close to Antarctica.
Once again, I will bring you further news of this story as and when it becomes
available.
When I began writing GATEWAY TO ATLANTIS it was my impression that
Antarctica was Atlantis. However, after studying Plato’s story of Atlantis,
preserved in the Timaeus and Critias I became convinced that this fabled
island empire lay on the western Atlantic seaboard. I further pinned down
the location to the Caribbean, Cuba in particular, with the sunken lands
being the now drowned parts of the former Bahaman landmass and Cuba’s Bay
of Batabanó. This was the theory I went with in the book. However,
even at this time I realised that the picture was slightly more complex.
Although I could not prove it, my colleague David Southwell and I had worked
out that prior to 15,000 BC Antarctica might well have been inhabited. Sometime
around this date an event occurred to displace its indigenous peoples northwards
towards South America, where they created new cultures. Others went by sea
to the Caribbean, where they went on to found the Atlantean culture. As mad
as these thoughts might seem, this is almost exactly what Flavio Barbiero
proposed in his lecture at San Marino. He believes that the Antarcticans
arrived via the prevailing ocean currents from Island Southeast Asia around
40,000 to 50,000 years ago. They settled in its north-west region, which
at the time was still free of ice. Here they remained, he says, until 9500
BC when an impact event caused a sudden shift of the poles to their current
position. Ice and rising waters from the melting of the old ice caps covered
any evidence of their occupation. The Antarcticans, he proposes, migrated
to different parts of the world including South America, the Caribbean, Africa,
India, and even Egypt. We beg to differ on dates but I can handle virtually
everything of what Flavio is proposing in this respect (read more on this
subject in my review of the conference on Eden – the Andrew Collins web site
at http://www.andrewcollins.net).
Flavio Barbiero is seen in Italy as a respectable scholar. He is taken
seriously!
We have vowed to work together to sort out this mystery once and for
all.
As you might well know, the works of Charles Hapgood, the Flem-aths
and Graham Hancock have all played with the idea that Antarctica might
once have been the seat of a major lost civilisation. Yet it is as well
to remember that the first scholar to propose that the earliest cultures
of South America came from Antarctica was Arthur Posnansky, the archaeologist
who worked so hard on Tiahuanaco. He concluded that its high culture came
originally from the ice-bound continent as early as 15,000 BC and showed
maps to this effect in his four-volume masterpiece on the ancient city.
So is there any real evidence of an Antarctican influence in South America?
UNSOLVED MYSTERIES
One event that could well provide the answer is the DIE WELT DES UNERKLÄRLICHEN:
UNSOLVED MYSTERIES exhibition, scheduled to take place at the Design Center
in Linz, Austria, between 22 June and 25 August next year. It will bring
together for the first time out-of-place artefacts from all over the world.
Key speakers are also being invited to deliver lectures at an opening seminar.
Altogether over 150 items have been secured so far for the two month exhibition.
They include various crystal skulls, gold models of aeroplanes from Peru,
copies of reliefs of ancient `bulbs’ from the Temple of Denderah in Egypt;
carved stones from Ica, Peru, as well as some quite remarkable pieces from
private collections in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
I have been invited to present a lecture at the opening seminar and
have also seen photographs of some of the artefacts to go on display,
and believe me you have just got see this lot. For instance, from Colombia
there are black stone surgical instruments fashioned into strange amphibian
like beasts with wavy blades, as well as strange carved disks with curious
stars and beasts and unfathomable cups. These last mentioned items are fashioned
from black stone. Yet incised, flush, into their surface are circular specks
of a red stone. They seem to spiral towards a centre which is the only spot
on the cup that it magnetic. Other similar vessels with strange designs
also have inexplicable magnetic qualities.
There is an eerie quality about some of these artefacts - something
that just does not compute with the mindset of the ancient world. For
example, the cult centre at Nevali Çori in southwest Turkey was
constructed around 8000 BC. Yet its design resembles any place of worship
built since that time, for it has four walls, is rectilinear in shape,
has a flat floor, an entrance portal, niches, statues, and probably even
an altar (as per neighbouring Çayonu). The same format is still being
used in the design of churches, synagogues, shrines, temples and mosques
today. Yet these items from South America fit no known design ideology found
among pre-Columbian cultures, or any ancient world civilisation. There is
a true mystery here and it is one that might lead us to better identify
traces of a lost civilisation that may not have derived from the mindset
of the ancient world. I will bring you more news on this fascinating event
as and when I receive details. In the meantime visit their web site at
http://www.unsolved-mysteries.net
or go to Eden, my own web site, at http://www.andrewcollins.net which
has a full report with pictures of some of the artefacts to be featured
in the exhibition.
ASHES CONFIRMATION
Another key lecture given at the San Marino conference in March was
that by Vittorio di Cesare, one of Italy’s top
archaeologists. He started with an account of the Dead Sea Community
at Qumrân and the discovery in 1947 of the Dead Sea Scrolls, hidden
by members of the community in caves in an attempt to preserve their history
and teachings for future generations.
Di Cesare then turned his attention to one scroll in particular. Known
to Hebrew scholars as the Testament of Amram, it was written around 200
BC. He said it concerned two strange beings that appeared to Amram, the father
of Moses. One was unnamed (although in my translation of the fragmentary
text he is identified as Michael or Melchizedek), while the other was Belial,
the teacher of the Children of Darkness. Amram is asked to choose between
the two, who represent, respectively, the truth and the lie. This was a concept
that came originally from the Iranian religion of Zoroastrianism. It entered
the Jewish religion at the time of the Babylonian captivity following the
conquest of Babylon in the mid sixth-century BC by the Persians under Cyrus
the Great. Yet it was the appearance of Belial that di Cesare focused on.
The being is said to have been dark with a viper-like face and blazing
eyes. Serpents, he said, are universally associated with the principles
of knowledge and wisdom.
Di Cesare showed next a slide of one of the snake-headed clay figurines
found with frequency by Sir Leonard Woolley alongside burials excavated
during the 1920s at sites in Lower Iraq. Many, for instance, were found
in cemeteries at Ur, the former great city identified by scholars as the
biblical `Ur of the Chaldees’. Since the level at which these figurines
was found corresponded to the time period in which Iraq was inhabited by
the so-called Ubaid peoples, who came originally from the Zagros mountains
of Kurdistan, it meant that they dated to c. 3500 BC (although di Cesare
spoke of them as dating to 6500 BC). Di Cesare said that mystery surrounded
the purpose of the statues, which showed males, females and females holding
babies. He suggested that they were buried in order to protect the souls
of the dead and to prevent the deceased from becoming victims of vampires,
a common belief among the peoples of ancient Iraq.
Di Cesare saw the Ubaid statues as representations of the same serpent-like
figure featured in the Testament of Amram. He went on to propose that
these beings were an actual race that lived in the Near East in prehistoric
times and were responsible for providing the knowledge of civilisation.
All these matters are dealt with in great detail within my own books FROM
THE ASHES OF ANGELS (1996) and GODS OF EDEN (1998). As you can imagine,
I sensed what only can be described as a slight case of déjà
vu – the same feeling I experienced when reading Christopher Knight and
Robert Lomas’ book URIEL’S MACHINE.
I listened carefully as di Cesare turned his attentions to the significance
played by the abstract eye goddess statues found at a temple site called
Tel Brak in northern Syria. These, he said, were yet another link to the
serpent cult. Yet he failed to note that the veneration of the eye in the
Near East derived from its associations with the vulture, the ultimate symbol
of the Neolithic cult of the dead, which went hand-in-hand with serpentine
symbolism. Di Cesare then showed slides of other `guardian’ statues from
Palestine, Syria and even Italy that bore a resemblance to the Ubaid figurines,
suggesting that these were likewise connected with the same tradition. This
is a matter I also deal with in FROM THE ASHES OF ANGELS, published in Italy
in 1997 under the title GLI ULTIMI DEI (‘The Last Gods’) by Sperling and
Kupfer. In here I point out that the beak-like faces of these statues, some
of which have cobra hoods (and are thus representations of Astarte, the Canaanite
form of Eve, the serpent mother of the Nephilim), derive from the earlier
association between serpents and abstract vulture symbolism. Di Cesare went
on to show a slide which featured a group of Mesopotamian figurines that
he said were Anunnaki, the Sumerian pantheon of lesser gods. Like me, he
too identified these beings with the strange figures featured in the Testament
of Amram and the Ubaid serpent-faced figurines.
The only topic he subsequently covered which is not in FROM THE ASHES
OF ANGELS was the possible link between the serpent-like `guardians of
knowledge’, as he referred to them, and the phallic standing stones found
at many Canaanite and Phoenician sites in Syria and Lebanon (and generally
considered to be symbols of the goddess Asherah). He concluded his lecture
by saying that we have here evidence of a widespread cult which revered an
ancient race, connected with the symbol of the serpent and the eye and thought
to be the givers of ancient knowledge and wisdom.
As soon as Vittorio di Cesare came off stage I asked him if he was
aware of my own work on the same subject. From his reaction, this seemed
not to be the case. So I offered to send him Italian translations of both
works as quickly as possible (he has acknowledged receipt of them). Vittorio
tells me that he is preparing a book on the subject to be entitled GODS OF
FIRE. I have offered an introduction and wait intriguingly for new developments
in this area. I am left with the prospect that one of Italy’s most eminent
archaeologists has independently confirmed the existence of a previously
unrecognised race connected with serpentine symbolism and the spread of
ancient knowledge. As you will know, this shamanic ruling elite are to be
associated with the Watchers of Enochian/Dead Sea literature (and through
them the angels of Judeo-Christian tradition), the Ubaid statues of Lower
Iraq, the eye goddesses of ancient Syria and the Anunnaki of Mesopotamian
myth and legend. We must not forget, however, that some of these ideas,
especially the human origin of the Watchers of Eden and the Anunnaki, were
explored originally by Christian O’Brien in his landmark book GENIUS OF
THE FEW, first published in 1985. Yet I believe I was the first writer to
identify the Watchers as a shamanic ruling elite that controlled the spread
of the Neolithic revolution and paved the way for the foundations of ancient
world civilisation.
Check out my web site which now includes an in depth article on the
history and development of the Watchers of Eden. So until next time, Ciao
for now.

SPACE ALIENS DESTROYED RADIO TELESCOPE
. . . because they didn't want us eavesdropping on them, say
scientists!
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- In a devastating setback to the international
search for extraterrestrial life, a giant radio telescope being used to
probe the stars has been destroyed -- and some scientists fear that aliens
may be responsible for the mysterious mishap!
IN THE AFTERMATH: Researchers collect samples of the twisted wreckage
for analysis. This once magnificent structure stood 300 feet tall and
weighed 600 tons.
At 2:13 a.m. on March 18, what witnesses described as a "pulsating
blue beam" streaked out of the sky and slammed into the 250-foot Rand-Wilson
telescope near Johannesburg, lighting up the facility and a quarter-mile
area surrounding it.
At daybreak, stunned researchers found that the multimillion-dollar
telescope had been reduced to a tangle of scorched and twisted metal.
"It looked as if it had taken a direct hit from a category five hurricane,
but the weather that night was completely tranquil," chief astronomer
Dr. Nigel Van Hecht said in a phone interview.
"We are entirely at a loss as to what could have caused this. The damage
is certainly not consistent with any known natural phenomenon, such as lightning.
"We have concluded that it is the result of sabotage and because of
the uncanny nature of the weapon, we are strongly leaning toward the theory
that the attackers were non-terrestrial."
The South Africa-based telescope, one of the world's largest, was a
key element in the international scientific endeavor known as the Search
for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI.
Scientists use radio telescopes -- essentially giant antennas -- to
"listen" for radio waves coming from outer space.
While some radio waves are natural, the theory is that waves within
certain frequencies or manifesting unusual patterns could only be broadcasts
from an alien civilization.
The program has been widely hailed as a more prudent and cost-effective
means of alien-hunting than manned space exploration. And the powerful
Rand-Wilson telescope, able to listen in on about 6,000 stars within 400
light-years of our solar system, was considered a uniquely vital tool.
But Dr. Van Hecht and his colleagues now fear the approach may have
backfired. "It's conceivable that the aliens don't like us eavesdropping
on them --and that this was their crystal-clear way of telling us to cut
it out," the astronomer said. "Certainly, they may have secrets they
don't want us listening in on."
Although researchers around the world will continue to use other radio
telescopes to scan the cosmos for signs of intelligence, the Rand-Wilson
telescope is history.
"The damage is irreparable," Dr. Van Hecht said. "This is a real
tragedy for science."

The following article is quite interesting.
If the Neanderthal is a not a human ancestor, then is/was there more than
one race on earth?
Wednesday, 29 March, 2000, 07:45 GMT 08:45 UK (From Worldnetdaily)
Neanderthals not human ancestors
A Neanderthal jaw from Croatia Modern humans do not have Neanderthal
ancestors in their family tree, a new DNA study concludes.
The DNA extracted from the ribs of a Neanderthal infant buried in southern
Russia 29,000 years ago was found to be too distinct from modern human DNA
to be related.
“There wasn’t much, if any mixture, between Neanderthals and modern
humans,” said William Goodwin, of the University of Glasgow, UK. “Though
they co-existed, we can’t find any evidence of genetic material being passed
from Neanderthals to modern humans.”
The new work, published in the journal Nature, contradicts recent evidence
from ancient remains of a child found in Portugal, which appeared to combine
Neanderthal and human features. Those researchers concluded that some interbreeding
must have taken place.
Last of the Neanderthals
The bones from the Neanderthal infant were very well preserved and
the child must have been among the last of the Neanderthals as they died
out about 30,000 years ago.
Exactly what happened to them is a mystery. Conflicting theories suggest
that they were massacred, out-competed for food or simply absorbed by interbreeding
with modern humans.
The research by Dr Goodwin and his Swedish and Russian colleagues agrees
with the findings of the first analysis of Neanderthal DNA in 1997.
That study of DNA, taken from the first Neanderthal skeleton found
in the Feldhofer Cave in Germany in 1856 supports the theory that modern
humans replaced Neanderthals.
Little diversity
According to Dr Goodwin, the DNA sequence from the infant was very
similar to the specimen from the Feldhofer Cave, proving that there was little
diversity among Neanderthals.
“If they had been very diverse at the DNA level, they could have encompassed
modern humans. The fact that these two Neanderthals are closely related
and not related to modern humans implies that they don’t have the diversity
to encompass a modern human gene pool,” said Dr Goodwin.
DNA comparisons also showed that different ethnic groups do not have
any links to Neanderthals.
In a commentary on the research in Nature, Matthias Hoss, of the Swiss
Institute for Experimental Cancer Research, said the two studies provide
the most reliable proof so far of the authenticity of ancient DNA sequences.
The similar features of the two samples “argues against the idea
that modern Europeans are at least partly of Neanderthal origin,” he said.
We all should be aware of what the possibilities
are with this sort of technology! Once upon a time there was a
free-willed human race, then . . ..
RESEARCHERS ‘MATE’ HUMAN CELLS WITH TINY ‘BIONIC CHIP’
February 25, 2000
Fox News reported: “Don't look for the
Six Million Dollar Man just yet, but researchers say they have found a way
to mate human cells with circuitry in a "bionic chip" that could play a
key role in medicine and genetic engineering. The tiny device — smaller and
thinner than a strand of hair — combines a healthy human cell with an electronic
circuitry chip. By controlling the chip with a computer, scientists say they
can control the activity of the cell. The computer sends electrical impulses
to the cell-chip, triggering the cell's membrane pores to open and
activating the cell. Scientists hope they can manufacture cell-chips in
large numbers and insert them into the body to replace or correct diseased
tissues. The cell-chip also gives them greater control over the difficult
process of gene therapy because they can more precisely open the cell's pores,
said lead researcher Boris Rubinsky..."

New technologies to alter the public's sense
of reality
---------------------------------------------------------------
New technologies add ads into news, talk programs
http://www.freedomforum.org/professional/2000/1/7cbs.asp
By Adam Clayton Powell III World Center
1.7.2000
Broadcasters have turned to new technologies
to squeeze more advertising into news, public affairs and talk programs.
On television, one network has begun inserting
billboards into live shots of Manhattan, while on radio, networks are
speeding up the words spoken in live news and talk shows, even while they
are still being spoken, to insert up to
six more minutes of commercials per hour.
On Dec. 30, the “CBS Evening News” became the
first U.S. network evening newscast to use video-insertion technology
that digitally alters live video to insert virtual billboards into the
picture. For two nights, Dan Rather
anchored the newscast from Times Square, with
billboards appearing behind him that weren't really there — they were inserted
electronically over the actual live pictures of Times Square.
“Times Square is full of billboards,” said Sandy
Genelius, a spokewoman for CBS News, who defended the digital manipulation
of the scene behind Rather in an interview with free!
CBS News’ internal standards prohibit digital
manipulation or other faking of news footage, but Genelius said this new
technology was not yet covered by the guidelines.
“There is nothing specific in CBS News standards,”
she explained. “We’re just beginning to use this.”
In an interview with Broadcasting and Cable magazine,
“CBS Evening News” director Eric Shapiro said, “My intention is to create
some eye-catching ‘CBS Evening News’ Times Square-type billboards in places
where there are none.”
The same device, called PVI L-VIS Live Video
Insertion, was introduced to television football coverage to generate images
of the “first-down” lines on the playing field.
Once the virtual images are superimposed over
the actual live picture, whether of a football game or in a news story,
the virtual images appear to viewers at home to be as real as anything at
the scene. People who walk in
front of landmarks replaced by virtual billboards
appear to television viewers to have walked in front of the electronic
billboard, making it appear completely real.
Even some radio show anchors have expressed surprise
that a new technology was being used to compress their words. Radio talk-show
host Rush Limbaugh told The New York Times that he first heard his show
was compressed when listeners complained to him about the added commercials.
“At first I didn’t know what they were talking
about,” Limbaugh told the Times. “I was talking for the same amount of
time every day.”
There is a similar device, called the Time Machine,
that squeezes or expands television programs. Networks and stations use
it to force long movies to fit in a two-hour time slot — or to slow down
short movies to fill the
entire time period.
SCIENTIST CREATE FROG EYES AND EARS IN THE LAB
January 5, 2000
Associated Press reported: “Japanese researchers have grown frog eyes
and ears in a lab using the animal's own embryo cells, technology a scientist
said could eventually help doctors replace lost or damaged human sensory
organs using cells from the patients' bodies. Makoto Asashima, a biologist
at prestigious Tokyo University, said Monday that the process is an alternative
to donor transplants. The team cultivated thousands of embryo cells in a
retinoic acid solution for five days to produce the organs, he said. Varying
the concentration of the retinoic acid somehow brings forth different genetic
instructions in the cells, Asashima said. A lower concentration activates
a set of genes producing eyes, while a higher concentration activates genes
producing ears. The researchers used embryonic stem cells, the ancestral cells
that develop into the tissues and organs in the body. The procedure is different
from cloning, in which a single cell from an organism grows into a copy of
the original, he said. Asashima said his team is the first to produce the
eyes or ears of an animal in a test tube. In a similar, simpler procedure,
the researcher said he previously grew frog kidneys and transplanted them
into other frogs. The recipient animals lived for more than a month, he said.
The team did not test the survival rate of frogs with transplanted natural
kidneys, he said..."
Is the Great Pyramid about to reveal its deepest secret?
As the new millennium begins, a tiny robot will open a tunnel door
which could lead to an incredible buried chamber - and the most remarkable
archaeological find of all time.
By Robert Bauval
Deep inside the oldest, largest, tallest and most sacred monument
on this planet is a heavily guarded secret, a mystery which has split the
archaeological establishment mystified the greatest minds and intrigued
those who know what might, just might, be there.
The monument is the Great Pyramid of Giza, the extraordinary structure
whose making and purpose we still struggle to understand. It may seem
incredible that even with modern technology, we still do not know exactly
what is inside, and that we have not succeeded in mapping its every chamber
room and tunnel; but, due to its amazing stone bulk and its fantastic construction,
we do not.
The pyramid gives up its secrets reluctantly. Sometimes, as in this
case, there are those who are terrified of what may be revealed. But soon,
as the millennium turns in a mere eight weeks' time, it seems likely that
perhaps the most astonishing discovery ever made on the great plain of
Giza will be uncovered.
Deep inside the pyramid, where the blocks of stone are farthest from
the burning sun wrapped in darkness and in the cold stillness of the centuries,
there lies a secret passage with a door at its end. I believe that behind
this door there is a chamber, hidden so well from prying eyes that it
can only contain the most precious of archaeological prizes.
And only yards away, perhaps connected to what is behind the door,
and under that most mysterious and inscrutable of monuments the Great Sphinx,
I know there is another as yet unexplored chamber. There, embedded in
the rock beneath the Sphinx, could be a room which archaeologists have
sought for centuries: the fabulous Hall of Records.
It is, in effect, a great library- the blueprint of a civilization
which predated the pharaohs and whose part in creating their great dynasty
has long been hinted at, but never established. If one or both of these secret
chambers are found, it will be the most amazing archaeological triumph of
the century, perhaps of the whole millennium. And soon we will know.
The Egyptians, who have in the past been resistant to the search for
the Hall of Records Since it may rewrite their ancient history, have relented
and finally agreed to begin to turn the spade. The two expeditions - into
the pyramid and beneath the Sphinx - are now imminent and will take place
as Egypt marks the millennium with a ceremony centred on the Great Pyramid.
On December 31, at the stroke of midnight, a military helicopter will
gently hover above the pyramid, as 250,000 people watch from the surrounding
sand and rock. The aircraft will then slowly lower a shining golden triangle
on to the top of the pyramid.
For thousands of years the capstone, which topped the Great Pyramid
at Giza, has been missing. But, as one millennium ends and another begins
the pyramid will be made complete again, giving a marvellous backdrop
for the discoveries which are to come.
As the celebrations go on outside within the Great Pyramid itself a
small robot - equipped with a video camera linked to TV networks around
the world - will proceed to lift open the small door thought to lead to the
first secret chamber. It has taken long years of argument and persuasion
to get to this point.
Discovered in 1993 by a German team, the door is tiny, standing at
the end of a long, narrow shaft, measuring only about eight inches square.
Initially this shaft and three others the Germans were investigating were
thought to be for ventilation purposes, but more recently they have been
interpreted as passages through which the spirit of the dead Pharaoh would
ascend to the stars.
As the Germans' robot crept along the shaft, it sent back video pictures.
But, after a two-week, 70-yard journey it was suddenly halted. The team
could see that the obstacle was a stone door with what appeared to be two
metal handles, later shown to be copper.
The door - like a portcullis and expected to be able to slide upwards
blocks the shaft, but does not fill it entirely. At the bottom of the
door is a 5-mm gap and also a corner missing where a fibre optic camera
could be poked through to see what lies beyond.
At the moment no one can be sure what lies behind the door, but whatever
is in there may well have been inside and untouched for thousands of years.
There could be a whole secret chamber behind it. If there is, I believe
it will contain supremely important documents and manuscripts, which will
solve once and for all the mysteries of how the pyramids came to be built.
In short, they will be the 'writings of the gods'.
The evidence for the existence of a 'sacred library' is persuasive.
It is known that King Cheops, who had the pyramid built, decreed that
it should house something there of the utmost value.
It is also known that the king ordered that a secret chamber should
be incorporated into the pyramid's design. There is said to have existed
a flint chest containing something so incredibly precious to their civilisation
that King Cheops would almost certainly have wanted it to be placed in
the chamber.
What could be in that mysterious flint chest? The most precious cargo
in my view, would be the sacred 'writings of the gods'. This would explain
why the shaft is only eight inches by eight inches -because only manuscripts
were intended to be hauled up to the top.
Even though the shaft is relatively inaccessible, it is not completely
shut off. This implies to me, that the ancient builders actually wanted
the door to be found, and ultimately, what might be concealed behind it.
But not by anyone.
Those who were worthy of finding it would not be barbarians; they would
be advanced and sophisticated people having not only the means to reach
the door and open it, but to make proper use of the mysterious and precious
treasures that might be behind it.
Others have different views. Before the discovery of the door, Egyptologists
had become convinced that no such secret chamber existed, and anyone who
insisted otherwise was pilloried by the
establishment.
But the door has triggered a sense of immense expectation, with some
saying that there will be the remains of a UFO or an extraterrestrial
being. Others have suggested that inside there will be a burial site or
an astonishing statue of the king gazing towards the constellation of
Orion.
Others are utterly convinced that the Egyptian authorities have already
looked behind the door. This rumour was fuelled when the Great Pyramid
was closed for restoration and cleaning in 1997.
The authorities have had plenty of time - and opportunities - to send
a robot or probe along the shaft and attempt to see what is behind it by
inserting a fibre optic camera through one of the holes at the bottom of
the door. The Egyptians have always denied this, but it seems inconceivable
that an attempt will be made to open the door on live TV, without having
had a dress rehearsal first.
But what of the other unexplored chamber beneath the Sphinx? It is
possible that the door in the pyramid will prove to be some sort of access
but there is also another way into the vault.
It is here that many believe we will find the true origins of the Egyptians
and shine a light across the centuries on to the mysterious and marvellous
lost civilisation of Atlantis.
Evidence of a chamber beneath the Sphinx's paws was found by American
seismologists in 1993. As soon as the vault was detected, the Egyptian
authorities banned any further exploration.
Then, in 1996, a cavity was found underneath the rump of the Sphinx.
Yet again, Egyptian authorities stopped the exploration. And a year later
the authorities halted work again, this time on a tunnel leading from
underneath the rest of the Sphinx to an ancient well shaft 200 yards away.
Only now has further exploration of the area under the Sphinx been sanctioned.
Such behaviour by the authorities combined with periods of eerie silence
from them and the Egyptological establishment, have led to the rumour mill
going into overdrive.
A series of global conspiracy theories about the possible Hall of Records
has been proposed, involving foreign governments, the CIA, powerful business
moguls and Egyptian government officials (as well as myself!).
One of the most widespread theories concerning the Hall of Records
is that it contains documents from Atlantis. There are ancient archaeological
sites around the world which still have not been successfully dated and
which resemble each other in their structure. It is Atlantis which many
experts believe links them. Atlantis - the whereabouts of which are still
unknown - is said to have been destroyed 10,500 years ago, possibly submerged
in some great shifting of the earth and seas.
This highly technologically advanced civilization is generally thought
to lie in ruins at the bottom of an ocean, but some have said that it
also may have existed in what is now Antarctica, covered by ice.
Wherever it was, I believe the Hall of Records to be the place where
survivors ended up and where they left some form of documentation, thousands
of years before the rise of Egypt.
The pyramids are usually said to be about 4,500 years old - but there
is good evidence that they are much older, and therefore built by another
civilization.
Boston geologist Robert Schoch and Egyptologist John West have pointed
out that the erosion on the Sphinx dates from more than 8,000 years ago.
And Graham Hancock and I have shown that the Sphinx and the pyramids
are aligned to star systems, which could have only been in such an arrangement
in 10,500 BC , the time Atlantis is said in legend to have been destroyed.
Both these findings show that the Sphinx and the pyramids were built
thousands of years earlier than the rise of Egyptian civilisation.
This means that Giza must have been built by people other than the
Egyptians - possibly people from Atlantis.
Egyptian inscriptions on walls, such as the ones at Denderah, refer
to ancient records that their 'gods' - the civilization that preceded
theirs - had hidden away their texts.
To find out for myself about the tunnels under the Sphinx I sneaked
into the ancient well shaft to become, I believe, one of the few people
alive to have been so close to the Hall of Records if it is there.
As I looked down the shaft, it was like staring into an archaeological
black hole. Even with torches it was difficult to get a perspective of
this underworld environment.
The metal ladder down the shaft was extremely moist from humidity and
very slippery. It was really like looking into the bowels of hell.
Three quarters of the way down, the air became stale and very humid
and we could hear water dripping down the walls and ceiling.
Finally we reached a large grotto, obviously cut out by human hands.
I panned the beam of light around the room and realised that much of the
floor was submerged in water. The sense of mystery and a curious feeling
of timelessness were overwhelming.
In the middle of the room was a sort of 'island' strewn with large
blocks of stone - obviously remains of pillars or columns which had once
graced this place.
Although it was dated to 1,550 BC, I sensed it could be much older.
In 1997 seismographic and radar equipment had detected a tunnel leading
from the back of the Sphinx towards this location.
Evidence had also been found of a tunnel leading from the grotto towards
the Sphinx. As I stood on top of a sarcophagus in this unlit and mysterious
environment, it was very tempting to imagine that the two tunnels might
be connected.
Across the 'moat' around the 'island' (which I dared not go into for
there was no telling how deep it would be or whether it contained scorpions
or snakes), a tunnel ran away.
It was said to lead nowhere. But then what was its purpose? Why bother
to cut a tunnel in such amazingly difficult circumstances that leads nowhere?
For a moment I thought that if the robot at the door in the Great Pyramid
could feel, it would be feeling the same way that I did as both our lights
shone on obstructions blocking our way.
There was now no question in my mind that another expedition with sophisticated
radar and remote sensing equipment was needed to try finally to discover
what lies under the Sphinx.
I find it appropriate that the millennium is the time when work will
start to uncover more of Giza's secrets. Because at midnight on December
31, the star Sirius - the brightest in the sky and one which, I believe,
has had a strong effect on shaping Egyptian civilization - will be perfectly
aligned with the axis of the Great Pyramid.
Sirius - and the constellation to which it is linked, Orion - are evident
in ancient Egyptian records.
The early astronomer-priests of Egypt decreed that each new year should
start with the rising Sirius. To them it was the portent of wealth, since
it always coincided with the advent of the Nile floods -around the summer
solstice when rains were falling hard at the source of the Nile in central
Africa.
As Sirius marks the millennium and the age of Aquarius begins, re shall
at last know more about as great, ancient civilization of Egypt - and perhaps
discover another, greater still.

Subj: [RF]: Urban Legends= CIA site
**Exclusive**
Dear Friend:
Many of you have probably received e-mails in the past claiming
to be from dying cancer patients or warning you of some new computer virus.
Upon forwarding these incredible stories to your friends and family, some
smart alec may forward you a reference to some so-called "urban legends"
website which claims to have proof debunking these stories.
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THESE URBAN LEGENDS WEBSITES!
Recent research has revealed that many urban legends books and
websites are actually urban legends themselves. Oftentimes the stories you
read in forwarded e-mail messages, as incredible as they may seem,
are absolutely TRUE. It is the claim that these stories are urban legends
which is FALSE.
Why, you may ask, would anyone do such a thing? Why spend valuable
time and money creating a site only to deceive innocent Internet users? The
reason for doing this is that many world governments (including the United
States government) have a strong vested interest in deceiving "the masses."
For instance, many alleged "urban legends" deal with true events that are
potentially embarassing and incriminating to the government (UFO sightings,
government experimentation on humans, etc.). What better way to keep these
kinds of covert operations secret than to spread rumors that they are actually
just "urban legends"? Doing this results in the more
educated--and, therefore, more politically influential--groups in
society believing that they know the "real" truth, when in fact they could
not be more deceived.
How did we discover that the government is intentionally using
Internet urban legend websites to deceive the public? We did so by accessing
a freely-available but relatively-unknown database of all Internet domain
names and their respective owners. The entry for http://www.urbanlegends.com, which
claims to be an urban-legend
debunking site, clearly shows that this site is controlled
by the government:

Furthermore, you can even contact Col. Heimbaugh, the "administrative
contact" for this domain at the e-mail address in the record above (debunk@urbanlegends.com).
He freely admits to being a retired military
officer and a current employee of the CIA. He refused to comment
on the www.urbanlegends.com website, saying that its purpose was "classified,"
yet insisted that the CIA was merely trying to "keep the American public
properly informed by discrediting allegations that could jeopardize
the ability of our leaders to govern effectively." By this he can only
mean one thing: the U.S. government is using Internet urban legends websites
to deceive the public.
We have recently learned that the following other Internet urban
legends sites are also owned and operated by the government: http://urbanlegends.tqn.com/
http://www.scambusters.org/legends.html
http://www.snopes.com/
We believe that it is essential that this information be properly disseminated
so that people can learn the truth. When we attempted to publicize this
information by creating a website of our own, the site was shut down due
to a "permanent TCP/IP routing error" and all of our data was destroyed.
Thus, sending this information out by e-mail has become our last hope. PLEASE
SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!! This information is too important
to be ignored. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

NEW SPY PLANES TO BE THE SIZE OF INSECTS
November 8, 1999
The London Times reported today:
“Microscopic planes, with cameras not much bigger than insects, are being
developed by American scientists to spy on enemy positions in wars of
the future. An extraordinary array of micro air vehicles (MAVs), all easily
held in the palm of the hand, is emerging from experimental laboratories
throughout the United States. Most are only six inches long. Although
their size would limit their operational range, research is under way
to design small rockets that could propel them long distances. Compared
with the 103ft wingspan of manned American U2 spy planes that take photographs
from an altitude of more than 70,000ft, the MAVs will be tiny cousins. But
the idea of minute surveillance planes taking pictures of enemy troops from
only 300ft up is being taken seriously in the US, according to the latest
edition of Jane's International Defence Review. One MAV being developed
by the US Naval Research Laboratory has electric motors on each wingtip
to drive folding propellers. The report says that the US Navy is mainly
interested in a MAV capable of radar jamming, and its tactical electronic
warfare division is designing one with sufficient power for flights of up
to 30 minutes. One idea is for a pencil-shaped motor ‘weighing no more than
six grammes’. Its speed would be about 30ft a second - as
fast as an Olympic sprinter..."

HUMAN RECIPIENTS OF ANIMAL ORGANS ORDERED NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN AND
FACE
OTHER RESTRICTIONS
October 25, 1999
The London Telegraph reported today:
"Transplant patients who receive pigs' hearts and lungs will have to sign
a pledge never to have children. They will also have to agree to have
their current and future sexual partners registered and monitored by the
medical authorities. The contracts are part of a series of stringent safeguards
being drawn up by Britain's regulatory body on animal-human transplants
to try to ensure that pig viruses do not spread to humans. The Government
agreed to allow research on the use of pigs for transplants because of
the shortage of human organs. Britain already has a herd of 'humanized'
pigs bred for the purpose. No licence for the transplant of a pig organ
into a human has been granted, but the first application is thought to be
imminent. Doctors in America have performed successful operations using
pig cells. The contracts will require patients about to receive pigs' hearts
or lungs to agree to 'use barrier contraception consistently and for life'
and never to give blood. They will have to consent to accept life-long
monitoring, which will include giving blood samples...Anti-vivisection
groups, opposed to the use of animal organs in humans, said that the proposed
monitoring was 'intrusive'. Sarah Kite, of the British Union for the Abolition
of Vivisection, said: 'The fact that the steering group advises that a regime
should be put in place under which patients and their close contacts should
agree to abide by highly intrusive conditions for the rest of their lives
indicates that it appreciates that the risk is significant and that the
consequences of disease transfer occurring could be extremely serious.'
She added that the monitoring would be difficult to police..."
The Hollow Earth
from Omni Magazine, October 1983
If there were a hall of fame for
pseudoscientists, surely Cyrus Teed would deserve
a place of honor. It was shortly after the Civil War that
Teed had his vision: The earth is a hollow sphere, and
WE LIVE INSIDE IT. Everything else in the universe is in
here with us --planets, comets, stars
-- everything. What's ouutside the sphere? Nothing.
Teed's cosmology had a particular
appeal to religious fundamentalists. It made the earth important
again, rather than an insignificant speck in the cosmos. And it eliminated
the difficult concepts of infinite space and aimlessly
scattered worlds. We're all right here together in this safe, spherical
womb.
In 1870 Teed changed his name to
Koresh (ancient Hebrew for Cyrus) and started a cult. At its
peak in the Nineties the Koreshan (pronounced ker-ESH-an) Unity movement
had some 4,000 followers. Teed established a religious/scientific community
a few miles south of Fort Myers, Florida,
and there founded the town of Estero. He was determined to prove
his theory scientifically and launched his own geodetic survey
in 1897 to do just that. Using his "rectilineator," a set of double-T
squares made of large logs, he projected a horizontal line until
his calculations indicated that it would plunge
into the Gulf of Mexico, four miles from its starting point. This was
Teed's proof that the earth's surface is
concave and that his rectilineator line had
intersected the earth's upward curve.
The scientists had gotten
everything backward: It is centrifugal force, not gravity,
that keeps our feet planted on the ground. The sphere
*is* about 25,000 miles around, just as the scientists
say. China is about 8,000 miles away, through
the earth's center --straight up.
The Nazis entertained many occult
theories in their quest for world domination, and Teed's was
one of them. At one point a Nazi expedition went to the Isle of Man. Its
mission: to get secret photographs of the United States by pointing its
powerful telescopes *up*.
What's most infuriating
is that a little mathematical fiddling turns this crazy theory into a
proposition that is virtually impossible to refute. The
trick is done by *inversion*, a purely
geometric transformation that lets a mathemetician turn shapes inside-out.
When a sphere is inverted, ever point outside is mapped to a corresponding
point inside, and vice versa.
The geometry is quite simple. If
a sphere's center is "C" and its radius
is "r," then every outside point "P" maps to an inside point
"P'" such that "CP x CP' = r2" {that's "r squared" - Foxx}.
{My apologies for
not being able to include the
accompanying illustration. - Foxx}
Here's a good way to visualize it:
For any outside point "P" (on the sun, or Pluto, or Cygnus
X, for example), draw a circle that has "CP" as its diameter.
From one of the two points where
this circle intersects the earth, draw a
line perpendicular to "CP." The intersection
point {of this perpendicular and "CP"} is the location of "P'".
By far the largest body in
our inverted Earth is the moon; a bit over half a mile in diameter and some
3,933 miles over our heads. The sun's sphere is only eight feet
across. The stars are microscopic spots clustered around
the center, which is, of course, infinity.
Is there any way to prove we *aren't*
inside a hollow earth? We asked H.S.M. Coxeter, mathematics professor
at the University of Toronto and an expert on inversion geometry.
"I can't think of any," he said. "A rocket flight, an eclipse, a
Foucault pendulum, a Coriolis effect --any observation we can makeon
the outside of the earth has an exact duplicate
version inside. There would be no way to tell which was the truth."
Just as the geometry of space inverts,
so do all the laws of physics. Toward the center of a hollow Earth, light
slows down and everything shrinks -- atoms,
astronauts, spaceships, and measuring rods. Light travels in circular paths,
producing some weird (but lawful) optical effects. Astronauts on the
moon looked back on what they thought was a blue sphere in the distance.
Actually it was the inside of the earth's shell, throught sight lines that
flared like the bell of a trumpet, producing the
*illusion* of a sphere. The optical distortion
is something like the wide angle view through a fisheye lens.
As we look to the sky
and the horizons, our visual field is filled with a sphere
some 4,000 miles in diameter. Celestial bodies
that revolve around the earth's center appear to "rise" and
"set" as they enter or leave that sphere.
Cyrus Teed said that the moon
is an illusion, that gravity is really centrifugal force, and that
a horizontal line on the earth's surface eventually intersects
the earth's upward curvature. We like to think that if he
were alive today he would junk some
of his earlier predictions to conform to inverse geometry, thereby keeping
his theory irrefutable.
The centrifugal-force idea is demonstrably
false. If it were so, there would be two points on the earth's surface where
the force disappeared---along the axis of spin. It is gravity of a peculiar
kind that pulls us all to the outside. Teed's rectilineator experiment
must have been in error. A line that appears horizontal actually
curves in toward the center and so gets farther and farther "above" the
surface.
Teed would have embraced Einstein's
view of a finite, bounded universe in which light travels
in circles and eventually returns to its starting point.
An infinitely powered telescope aimed straight
up, Einstein said, will eventually produce a view of the other side of the
earth. That idea might seem paradoxical to most of us, but it
would have been intuitively obvious to Cyrus Teed.
... the Australian
Journal _Speculations in Science and Technology_has published an
article by Mostafa A Abdelkader, of Alexandria,
Egypt, that considers in all seriousness the proposal that we
really *are* in a hollow Earth. Abdelkader says that the only way to test
the theory's validity is to drill a tunnel straight
through the earth. Until such an experiment is performed, he
writes, "it seems ... that the odds are strongly in favor of [a hollow Earth]
being our actual universe."

Hearing device
Abstract
A method and apparatus for simulation of hearing in mammals by introduction
of a plurality of microwaves into the region of the auditory cortex is
shown and described. A microphone is used to transform sound signals into
electrical signals which are in turn analyzed and processed to provide controls
for generating a plurality of microwave signals at different frequencies.
The multifrequency microwaves are then applied to the brain in the region
of the auditory cortex. By this method sounds are perceived by the mammal
which are representative of the original sound received by the microphone.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to devices for aiding of hearing in mammals.
The invention is based upon the perception of sounds which is experienced
in the brain when the brain is subjected to certain microwave radiation
signals.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In prior art hearing devices for human beings, it is well known to
amplify sounds to be heard and to apply the amplified sound signal to the
ear of the person wearing the hearing aid. Hearing devices of this type are
however limited to hearing disfunctions where there is no damage to the auditory
nerve or to the auditory cortex. In the prior art, if there is damage to
the auditory cortex or the auditory nerve, it cannot be corrected by the
use of a hearing aid.
During World War II, individuals in the radiation path of certain radar
installations observed clicks and buzzing sounds in response to the microwave
radiation. It was through this early observation that it became known to
the art that microwaves could cause a direct perception of sound within a
human brain. These buzzing or clicking sounds however were not meaningful,
and were not perception of sounds which could otherwise be heard by the receiver.
This type of microwave radiation was not representative of any intelligible
sound to be perceived. In such radar installations, there was never a sound
which was generated which resulted in subsequent generation of microwave
signals representative of that sound.
Since the early perception of buzzing and clicking, further research
has been conducted into the microwave reaction of the brain.
In an article entitled "Possible Microwave Mechanisms of the Mammalian
Nervous System" by Philip L. Stocklin and Brain F. Stocklin, published
in the TIT Journal of Life Sciences, Tower International Technomedical Institute,
Inc. P.O. Box 4594, Philadelphia, Pa. (1979) there is disclosed a hypothesis
that the mammalian brain generates and uses electro magnetic waves in the
lower microwave frequency region as an integral part of the functioning
of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This analysis is based primarily
upon the potential energy of a protein integral in the neural membrane.
In an article by W. Bise entitled "Low Power Radio-Frequency and Microwave
Effects On Human Electroencephalogram and Behavior", Physiol. Chemistry
Phys. 10, 387 (1978), it is reported that there are significant effects upon
the alert human EEG during radiation by low intensity CW microwave electromagnetic
energy. Bise observed significant repeatable EEG effects for a subject during
radiation at specific microwave frequencies.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Results of theoretical analysis of the physics of brain tissue and
the brain/skull cavity, combined with experimentally-determined electromagnetic
properties of mammalian brain tissue, indicate the physical necessity
for the existence of electromagnetic standing waves, called modes in the
living mammalian brain. The mode characteristics may be determined by
two geometric properties of the brain; these are the cephalic index of
the brain (its shape in prolate spheroidal coordinates) and the semifocal
distance of the brain (a measure of its size). It was concluded that estimation
of brain cephalic index and semifocal distance using external skull measurements
on subjects permits estimation of the subject's characteristic mode frequencies,
which in turn will permit a mode by mode treatment of the data to simulate
hearing.
This invention provides for sound perception by individuals who have
impaired hearing resulting from ear damage, auditory nerve damage, and
damage to the auditory cortex. This invention provides for simulation of
microwave radiation which is normally produced by the auditory cortex. The
simulated brain waves are introduced into the region of the auditory cortex
and provide for perceived sounds on the part of the subject.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
This invention is based upon observations of the physical mechanism
the mammalian brain uses to perceive acoustic vibrations. This observation
is based in part upon neuro anatomical and other experimental evidence
which relates to microwave brain stimulation and the perception of sounds.
It is has been observed that monochromatic acoustic stimuli (acoustic
tones, or single tones) of different frequencies uniquely stimulate different
regions of the cochlea. It has also been observed that there is a corresponding
one to one relationship between the frequency of a monochromatic acoustic
stimulus and the region of the auditory cortex neurally stimulated by
the cochlear nerve under the physiologically normal conditions (tonotopicity).
It is has been observed that for an acoustic tone of a frequency which
is at the lower end of the entire acoustical range perceivable by a person,
that a thin lateral region ("Line") parallel to the medial axis of the brain
and toward the inferior portion of the primary auditory cortex is stimulated.
For an acoustic tone whose frequency is toward the high end of the entire
perceivable acoustic range, a thin lateral region parallel to the medial
axis and toward the superior portion of the primary auditory cortex is stimulated.
Neural stimulation results in the generation of a broad band of microwave
photons by the change in rotational energy state of protons integral to
the neuron membrane of the auditory cortex. The physical size and shape
of the brain/skull cavity, together with the (semi-conductor) properties
(conductivity and dielectric constant) of the brain tissue provide an electromagnetic
resonant cavity. Specific single frequencies are constructively reinforced
so that a number of standing electromagnetic waves, each at its own single
electromagnetic frequency in the microwave frequency region, are generated
in the brain. Each such standing electromagnetic wave is called a characteristic
mode of the brain/skull cavity.
Analysis in terms of prolate spheroidal wave functions indicates that
transverse electric field components of these modes have maxima in the region
of the auditory cortex. This analysis further shows that transverse electric
field possess a variation of amplitude with angle in the angular plane
(along the vertical dimension of the auditory cortex) and that is dependent
only upon the primary mode number.
The auditory cortex in the normally functioning mammalian brain is
a source of microwave modes. The auditory cortex generates these modes in
accordance with the neural stimulation of the auditory cortex by the cochlear
nerve. Mode weighting for any one acoustic tone stimulus is given by the
amplitude of each mode along the line region of the auditory cortex which
is neurally stimulated by that acoustic tone stimulus. A listing of mode
weighting versus frequency of acoustic stimulus is called the mode matrix.
In this invention, the functions of the ear, the cochlear nerve, and
the auditory cortex are simulated. Microwaves simulating the mode matrix
are inserted directly into the region of the auditory cortex. By this insertion
of simulated microwave modes, the normal operation of the entire natural
hearing mechanism is simulated.
Referring now to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 there is shown an apparatus which
provides for induced perception of sound into a mammalian brain. This
hearing device includes a microphone 10 which receives sounds, an acoustic
filter bank 12 which separates the signals from the microphone into component
frequencies, and a mode control matrix 14 which generates the mode signals
which are used to control the intensity of microwave radiations which are
injected into the skull cavity in the region of the auditory. cortex.
The acoustic filter bank 12 consists of a bank of acoustic filters
F1 through Fk which span the audible acoustic spectrum. These filters may
be built from standard resistance, inductance, and capacitance components
in accordance with well established practice. In the preferred embodiment
there are 24 filters which correspond to the observed critical bandwidths
of the human ear. In this preferred embodiment a typical list of filter parameters
is given by Table 1 below:

______________________________________
The rectifier outputs one through K are feed to K mode partition
devices. The mode partitioning devices each have N outputs wherein N is
the number of microwave oscillators used to generate the microwave radiation.
The outputs 1 through N of each mode partition device is applied respectively
to the inputs of each gain controlled amplifier of the microwave radiation
generator. The function of the mode control matrix 14 is the control of the
microwave amplifiers in the microwave amplifier bank 18. In the preferred
embodiment thus will be 24 outputs and 24 microwave frequency oscillators.
Connected to each microwave amplifier gain control line is a mode simulation
device 16 which receives weighted mode signals from the mode partition devices
14. Each mode simulation device consists of one through k lines and diodes
17 which are each connected to summing junction 19. The diodes 17 provide
for isolation from one mode partition device to the next. The diodes 17
prevent signals from one mode partition device from returning to the other
mode partition devices which are also connected to the same summing junction
of the mode summation device 16. The diodes also serve a second function
which is the rectification of the signals received from the acoustic filter
bank by way of the mode partition devices. In this way each mode partition
device output is rectified to produce a varying DC voltage with major frequency
components of the order of 15 milliseconds or less. The voltage at the
summation junction 19 is thus a slowly varying DC voltage.
The example mode partition devices are shown in greater detail in FIGS.
3, 4, and 5. The mode partition devices are merely resistance networks which
produce 1 through N output voltages which are predetermined divisions of
the input signal from the acoustic filter associated with the mode partition
device. FIG. 3 shows a mode partitioning device wherein several outputs
are associated with each series resistor 30. In the embodiment depicted
in FIG. 4 there is an output associated with each series resistor only,
and thus there are N series resistors, or the same number of series resistors
as there are outputs. The values of the resistors in the mode partition resistor
network are determined in accordance with the magnitudes of the frequency
component from the acoustic filter bank 12 which is required at the summation
point 19 or the gain control line for amplifiers 20.
The microwave amplifier bank 18 consists of a plurality of microwave
oscillators 1 through N each of which is connected to an amplifier 20.
Since the amplifiers 20 are gain controlled by the signals at summation
junction 19, the magnitude of the microwave output is controlled by the
mode control matrix outputs F1 through F.sub.n. In the preferred embodiment
there are 24 amplifiers.
The leads from the microwave oscillators 1 through N to the amplifiers
20 are shielded to prevent cross talk from one oscillator to the next,
and to prevent stray signals from reaching the user of the hearing device.
The output impedance of amplifiers 20 should be 1000 ohms and this is indicated
by resistor 21. The outputs of amplifiers 20 are all connected to a summing
junction 22. The summing junction 22 is connected to a summing impedance
23 which is approximately 50 ohms. The relatively high amplifier output
impedance 21 as compared to the relatively low summing impedance 23 provides
minimization of cross talk between the amplifiers. Since the amplitude of
the microwave signal needed at the antenna 24 is relatively small, there
is no need to match the antenna and summing junction impedances to the amplifier
20 output impedances. Efficiency of the amplifiers 20 is not critical.
Level control of the signal at antenna 24 is controlled by pick off
25 which is connected to the summing impedance 23. In this manner, the
signal at antenna 24 can be varied from 0 (ground) to a value which is acceptable
to the individual.
The antenna 24 is placed next to the subject's head and in the region
of the subject's auditory cortex 26. By placement of the antenna 24 in
the region of the auditory cortex 26, the microwave field which is generated
simulates the microwave field which would be generated if the acoustic
sounds were perceived with normal hearing and the auditory cortex was functioning
normally.
In FIG. 2A there is shown a second embodiment of the microwave radiation
and generator portion of the hearing device. In this embodiment a broad
band microwave source 50 generates microwave signals which are feed to filters
52 through 58 which select from the broad band radiation particular frequencies
to be transmitted to the person. As in FIG. 2, the amplifiers 20 receive
signals on lines 19 from the mode control matrix. The signals on lines 19
provide the gain control for amplifiers 20.
In FIG. 6 there is shown a modified microwave hearing generator 60
which includes a mode partition resistor divider network as depicted in FIG.
5. Each of the mode partition voltage divider networks in this embodiment
are individually adjustable for all of the resistances in the resistance
network. FIG. 5 depicts a voltage division system wherein adjustment of the
voltage partition resistors is provided for.
In FIG. 6, the sound source 62 generates audible sounds which are received
by the microphone of the microwave hearing generator 60. In accordance with
the operation described with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2, microwave signals
are generated at the antenna 10 in accordance with the redistribution provided
by the mode control matrix as set forth in FIG. 5.
The sound source 62 also produces a signal on line 64 which is received
by a head phone 66. The apparatus depicted in FIG. 6 is used to calibrate
or fit a microwave hearing generator to a particular individual. Once
the hearing generator is adjusted to the particular individual by adjustment
of the variable resistors in the adjustable mode partition portion of the
hearing generator, a second generator may be built using fixed value resistors
in accordance with the adjusted values achieved in fitting the device to
the particular subject. The sound produced by headphone 66 should be the
same as a sound from the sound source 62 which is received by the microphone
10 in the microwave hearing generator 60. In this way, the subject can make
comparisons between the perceived sound from the hearing generator 60, and
the sound which is heard from headphone 66. Sound source 62 also produces
a signal on 68 which is feed to cue light 69. Cue light 69 comes on whenever
a sound is emitted from sound source 62
to the microwave generator 60. In this manner, if the subject hears
nothing, he will still be informed that a sound has been omitted and hence
that he is indeed perceiving no sound from the microwave hearing generator
60.
In FIG. 7 there is shown a modified microwave hearing generator which
may be used to determine a subject's microwave mode frequencies. In this
device, the acoustic filter bank and the mode control matrix have been
removed and replaced by voltage level signal generated by potentiometers
70. Also included are a plurality of variable frequency oscillators 72
which feed microwave amplifiers 74 which are gain controlled from the signal
generated by potentiometers 70 and pick off arm 76.
This modified microwave hearing generator is used to provide signals
using one oscillator at a time. When an oscillator is turned on, the frequency
is varied about the estimated value until a maximum acoustic perception
by the subject is perceived. This perception however may consist of a buzzing
or hissing sound rather than a tone because only one microwave frequency
is being received. The first test of perception is to determine the subject's
lowest modal frequency for audition (M=1). Once this modal frequency is
obtained, the process is repeated for several higher modal frequencies and
continued until no maximum acoustic perception occurs.
Another method of determination of a subject's modal frequencies is
through anatomical estimation. This procedure is by measurement of the subject's
cephalic index and the lateral dimensions of the skull. In this method,
the shape is determined in prolate spheroidal coordinance.
Purely anatomical estimation of subject's modal frequencies is performed
by first measuring the maximum lateral dimension (breadth) L FIG. 8, of
the subject's head together with the maximum dimension D (anterior to posterior)
in the medial plane of the subject's head. D is the distance along Z axis
as shown in FIG. 10. The ratio L/D, called in anthropology the cephalic
index, is monotonically related to the boundary value .xi..sub.o defining
the ellipsoidal surface approximating the interface between the brain and
the skull in the prolate spheroidal coordinate system. .xi..sub.o defines
the shape of this interface; .xi..sub.o and D together give an estimate
of a, the semi-focal distance of the defining ellipsoid. Using .xi..sub.o
and a, together with known values of the conductivity and dielectric constants
of brain tissue, those wavelengths are found for which the radial component
of the electric field satisfies the boundary condition that it is zero at
.xi..sub.o. These wavelengths are the wavelengths associated with the standing
waves or modes; the corresponding frequencies are found by dividing the
phase velocity of microwaves in brain tissue by each of the wavelengths.
A subject's microwave modal frequencies may also be determined by observing
the effect of external microwave radiation upon the EEG. The frequency of
the M equal 1 mode may then be used as a base point to estimate all other
modal frequencies.
A typical example of such an estimation is where the subject is laterally
irradiated with a monochromatic microwave field simultaneous with EEG
measurement and the microwave frequency altered until a significant change
occurs in the EEG, the lowest such frequency causing a significant EEG
change is found. This is identified as the frequency of the M=1 mode, the
lowest mode of importance in auditory perception. The purely anatomical
estimation procedure (FIGS. 8, 9, 10) is then performed and the ratio of
each modal frequency to the M=1 modal frequency obtained. These ratios together
with the experimentally-determined M=1 frequency are then used to estimate
the frequencies of the mode numbers higher than 1. The prolate spheroidal
coordinate system is shown in FIG. 9. Along the lateral plane containing
the x and y coordinates of FIG. 9, the prolate spheroidal coordinate variable
.phi. (angle) lies FIGS. 9 and 10. Plots of the transverse electric field
amplitude versus primary mode number m are shown in FIG. 11. The equation
is
E.sub.transverse (m, .phi.)=E.sub.o sin(m .phi.)
The "elevation view" FIG. 12, of the brain from the left side, shows
the primary auditory cortex 10. The iso-tone lines and the high frequency
region are toward the top of 100 and the low frequency region toward the
bottom of 100.
The formula I, set forth below is the formula for combining modes from
an iso-tone line at .phi.=.phi.j being excited to obtain the total modal
field at some other angular location .phi.. For this formula, if we let J=1
(just one iso-tone single frequency acoustic stimulus line), then it can
be shown that ALL modes (in general) must be used for any ONE tone. ##EQU1##
.phi.=ANGLE (0.degree. LATERAL) .phi..sub.j =LOCATION OF j-TH SOURCE (TOTAL
NUMBER J)
.DELTA..phi..sub.m =ATTENUATION LENGTH (IN ANGLE) OF m-TH MODE
m=PRIMARY MODE NUMBER (HIGHEST MODE M)
FIG. 13 shows the resulting total modal field versus angle .phi. for
source location .phi. at 5.25.degree., 12.5.degree., etc. With reference
to the set of curves at the left top of this figure. A spacing of approximately
7.25.degree. in .phi. corresponds to a tonal difference of about 1 octave.
This conclusion is based on the side-lobes of pattern coming from .phi.=5.25.degree.,
etc.
The total filed (value on y-axis) falls considerably below the top
curves for source locations well below 5.25.degree. (toward the high acoustic
stimulus end) and also as the source of frequency goes well above 30.degree.
(low frequency end). .phi. is plotted positive downward from 0.degree. at
lateral location as indicates in FIG. 11.
Resistor weightings are obtained from the .vertline.sin (m[.phi.-.phi.j]).vertline.,
Formula I. The scale between acoustic frequency and .phi. must be set
or estimated from experiment. Approximately 5.25.+-.1.degree. corresponds
to a tonal stimulus at about 2 kHz (the most sensitive region of the ear)
since this source location gives the highest electric field amplitude.
The apparatus of FIG. 7 may also be used to determine values for a hearing
device which are required for a particular subject. Once the modal frequencies
have been estimated, the device of FIG. 7 which includes variable microwave
oscillators may be used to determine values for the oscillators which match
the subject, and to determine resistance values associated with the mode
partition devices of the mode control matrix.
In FIG. 7 manual control of the amplifier gain is achieved by potentiometers
76. In this manner the amplifier gains are varied about the estimated
settings for an acoustic tone stimulus in the region of two thousand Hertz
(2 kHz) until maximum acoustic perception and a purest tone are achieved
together. The term purest tone may also be described as the most pleasing
acoustic perception by the subject. This process may be repeated at selected
frequencies above and below 2 kHz. The selected frequencies correspond
to regions of other acoustic filter center frequencies of the subject. When
modal frequency (oscillator frequency) and gain set values (setting a potentiometer
76) are noted, it is then possible to calculate fixed oscillator frequencies
and control resistor values for the adjusted hearing device for this particular
subject.
In the event the subject has no prior acoustic experience, that is
deaf from birth, estimated resistor values must be used. Also, a complex
acoustic stimulation test including language articulation and pairs of harmonically
related tones may be developed to maximize the match of the hearing device
parameters for those of this particular subject.
Typical components for use in this invention include commercially available
high fidelity microphones which have a range of 50 Hz to 15 kHz with plus
or minus 3 dB variation.
The audio filters to be used with the acoustic filter bank 12 are constructed
in a conventional manner, and have Q values of about 6. The filters may
also be designed with 3 dB down points (1/2 the bandwidth away from the center
frequency) occurring at adjacent center frequency locations.
The diodes 17 in the mode control matrix which provide isolation between
the mode partition circuits are commercially available diodes in the audio
range.
The microwave oscillators 1 through N and the microwave amplifiers
20 are constructed with available microwave transistors which can be configured
either as oscillators or amplifiers. Examples of the transistors are GaAsFET
field effect transistors by Hewlitt Packard known as the HFET series or
silicone bipolar transistors by Hewlitt Packard known as the HXTR series.
All the cable between the oscillators, the microwave amplifiers, and
the antenna should be constructed with either single or double shielded
coaxial cable.
The antenna 24 for directing microwave signals to the audio cortex
26 should be approximately the size of the auditory cortex. A typical size
would be one and one half CM high and one half to one CM wide. The antenna
as shown is located over the left auditory cortex, but the right may also
be used. Since the characteristic impedance of the brain tissue at these
microwave frequencies is close to 50 ohms, efficient transmission by commercially
available standard 50 ohm coax is possible.
The invention has been described in reference to the preferred embodiments.
It is, however, to be understood that other advantages, features, and
embodiments may be within the scope of this invention as defined in the
appended claims.

AMERICAN SCIENTIST CLAIMS HUMAN HEAD TRANSPLANTS NOW POSSIBLE
August 30, 1999
The London Times reported today: "A leading brain surgeon has
unveiled plans to perform the first human head transplant. The operation,
already carried out successfully on dogs and monkeys, would initially
cost £800,000. Among those who could benefit are quadriplegics...The
operation may also appeal to rich people with terminal illnesses. The
technique for transplanting heads was proven in principle with small mammals
in the early 1990s. However, it was abandoned when scientists realised
that the extra time needed to reconnect larger human arteries and muscles
would deprive the brain of oxygen and cause tissue damage. Last week it
was claimed that this obstacle has finally been overcome. Robert J White,
an American neurosurgeon, said he had developed a blood-cooling system
that meant a living head could be disconnected from its blood supply for
up to an hour without ill-effect. White and his team, based at Case Western
Reserve University in Ohio, claim they have already practiced the techniques
on corpses retained for medical research at the American hospital where
he works..."
Quite Strange! One's imagination could run wild on what this could
be!!
ASTRONOMERS BAFFLED BY NEW MYSTERY OBJECT IN NORTHERN SKY
August 18, 1999
The New York Times reported today: "Every
night at their telescopes, astronomers invite the universe to a battle of
wits. Surprise us, they say, with some teasing wink of light, some few cryptic
clues to something unfamiliar and, better yet, an implied challenge to a
cherished theory. In most cases, astronomers boast, we will have it figured
out by dawn. Now astronomers have an unyielding mystery on their hands, something
they have observed and pondered for three years, a point of light deep
in the northern sky that appears to be like nothing seen before....The mystery
object has so far confounded astronomers because they cannot decipher the
language of its light… So if it is not a normal star, galaxy or strange
quasar, astronomers say, the most intriguing possibility is that the
mystery object is announcing the existence of an entirely new cosmic phenomenon...."

"Cosmic Stargate"
by Steven Hanauer
"The Mayans also believed that humanity would be moving into a higher
dimension around this time period. They called the end of this calendar
cycle the End of Time, stating that humanity would no longer need a calendar
depicting linear time, for we would be moving into a higher dimension. The
end of the Mayan Calendar has been calculated to be between December, 2011
and 2012, or 2013, but when it is correlated to our Gregorian calendar,
it may actually end around 2000 A.D. This correlates with the alignment
of the Earth and Sun to the galactic core, which would be the definitive
astronomical ending point of the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar is known
to be based on galactic cycles."
"The convergence of all these factors with a possible dimensional shift
would be
strongest between July 1999 and May 5 2000."
"The center of our Milky Way is now entering a cyclical explosive phase
of galactic core explosions."
"Powerful galactic discharges occur every ten-thousand years or so,
the last one having taken place about 9,500 BC. Astrophysicists have determined
that such a cyclic cosmic event is currently underway. According to La
Violette, as many as TWO super waves may be speeding our way from our Milky
Way galactic core."
"THE ULYSSES SATELLITE HAS RECENTLY DETECTED INTERSTELLAR DUST CLOUDS
PRESENTLY
ENTERING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM FROM THE DIRECTION OF OUR GALACTIC CORE."
"As solar storm activity increases and peaks as we near the year 2000,
we can expect an increase in severe weather, earthquakes and volcanoes.
There is a direct link between solar storms (sun spots) and Earths' weather.
Accordingly we can expect solar and earth changes to continue escalating
through the year 2000 and beyond. THE CONVERGENCE OF ALL THESE FACTORS RESULTING
IN A POSSIBLE
DIMENSIONAL SHIFT WOULD BE STRONGEST BETWEEN JULY 1999 AND MAY 2000."
"Beyond the May 5, 2000 "time window," astronomers tell us that most
of the planets of our solar system are scheduled to form into a near-straight
array. This impressive planetary alignment is estimated to occur
ONCE EACH HALF-MILLION YEARS. The combined effect of this planetary gravitational
and magnetic field line-up will apply additional stress upon each planet,
thereby setting the stage for a dramatic rise in Earths' seismic/ volcanic
activity. This "ducks in a row" relationship will also probably stimulate
an increase in solar storm activity. Scientists have recently discovered
that sunspot dynamics are directly influenced by the aspects formed to
it by its' orbiting planets."
"And to top it all off, the seismologist, Vadim Anfiloff has found
that our Earths' ongoing contraction is subjecting its' mantle and overlaying
crust to greater than ever internal pressure and stress."
"Our Sun is close to reaching its' solar flare 11 year cycle peak."
"Scientists predict the next solar cycle (#23) to be the largest solar
maximum in recorded history. Even though our Suns' maximum cycle won't peak
until around THE YEAR 2000, it has already produced the largest coronal
mass ejections ever recorded."
"Level D8: Scientists are expecting the STORM OF THE MILLENNIUM to
occur, possibly around January 2000. It is predicted that compass needles
will fluctuate, and that radio, TV, telephone, computer and satellite communications,
power lines and radar systems will be disrupted."
"The book titled, "Earth Under Fire," by LaViolette, correlates these
ancient events with the latest geological evidence from the Greenland
and Icelandic ice core studies. What they found was physical evidence
of an Earth crustal shift, increased climatic temperatures, increased cosmic
radiation dust, and a possible polar axis shift, all occurring around 9500
B.C. LaViolette believes that a galactic core explosion affected our Sun,
inducing increased solar storms, which then affected our Earth. THESE EVENTS
ARE POSSIBLY ABOUT TO OCCUR AGAIN."
"Nick Fiorenzas' research coincides with the message of the Sphinx.
He has determined that the Earth and Sun will be aligning with the center
of the Milky Way galaxy sometime between 1999 and 2000. The equatorial
plane of the Earth, known as the ecliptic, aligns with the ecliptic of the
Sun, at the same time that they both align with the ecliptic of the galactic
core. This unique alignment occurs ONLY FOUR TIMES during the precession
of the equinox cycle, corresponding with the Four Corners of the World.
The last configuration similar
to this upcoming alignment corresponded to around 9500 B.C. He believes
there will be major earth changes as in the time of the sinking of Atlantis
and the Great Flood, but with one addition, that being a possible DIMENSIONAL
SHIFT."
"Scientists have found an energetic mass in the center of our galaxy.
They have theorized that this mass is a dimensional doorway whereby energy
from a higher dimension is stepped down and distributed to our galaxy."
"Science postulates that at the center of all galaxies lies such an
energetic mass. In 1992, a new frequency was found to be emitted from all
known galactic cores which would have altered the rhythmic pulsation and
cause changes to occur throughout the Sacred Circuit."
"In his book, "Awakening to Zero Point," Gregg Braden describes many
of the changes occurring on the Earth and how they are affecting us in
our daily life. The magnetic field of the Earth is decreasing due to a slowing
of Earths'
rotation. We are experiencing an intensification of our emotions
and an increased difficulty in memory recall, because our emotional body
and memory are closely connected with the Earths' magnetic field. Braden
also states that the Earths' "heartbeat," or the Schuman Resonance Frequency,
is increasing, which we experience as a sense that time is speeding up. This
also tends to bring up deep emotional issues in order to be healed, often
creating tensions and conflicts in our personal relationships."
"Level D8: Scientists are expecting the storm of the millennium to
occur, possibly around January 2000. It is predicted that compass needles
will fluctuate, and that radio, TV, telephone, computer and satellite communications,
power lines and radar systems will be disrupted."
"The Sun has been shrinking at a rate of 16 kilometers per year. As
this shrinkage continues, it could reach a point where it collapses into
a dwarf star. This would create intense solar-magnetic field changes and
shifts in the solar wind density, possibly affecting the equilibrium of the
planets. There could also occur an ejection of the outer coronal shell. Stan
Deyo, reports that in 1991, an outer layer of the Sun's corona had vanished
and the Sun began emitting a different range of spectral emissions. Due to
these dramatic and unexpected changes, the world governments have recently
launched a number of solar probes as a part of the "Solar-Terrestrial Explorer"
(ISTP) program."
TOP 10 OUT-OF-PLACE ARTIFACTS (O.O.P.s)
By
Joseph Robert Jochmans, Lit. D.
Walk into any modern museum, or open any history textbook, and the
picture of the past presented is one in which humanity started from primitive
beginnings, and steadily progressed upward in the development of culture
and science. Most of the artifacts preserved in archaeological and geological
records have been neatly arranged to fit this accepted linear view of our
past.
Yet many other tantalizing bits and pieces unearthed offer a very different
story of what really happened. Called out-of-place artifacts, they don't
fit the established pattern of prehistory, pointing back instead to the existence
of advanced civilizations before any of the known ancient cultures came
into being.
Though such discoveries with their inherent sophistication are well-documented,
most historians would like to sweep these disturbing anomalies under the
proverbial rug. But the rug of true history is getting very lumpy, and
hard to step across without tripping over such obvious contradictions to
the conservative picture of antiquity.
What's more, the mysterious artifacts confirm ancient legends and stories
which describe human history not as linear, but cyclic. Forgotten ages and
former worlds rose and fell in great cycles of life and death over millions
of years, lost to our memory except in myths, and now, through a few amazing
pieces left to us. Here are the top ten out-of-place artifacts and what
they reveal to us about our missing legacy:
1. BAFFLING BATTERIES OF BABYLON
In 1938, Dr. Wilhelm Kong, an Austrian archaeologist rummaging through
the basement of the museum made a find that was to drastically alter all
concepts of ancient science. A 6-inch-high pot of bright yellow clay dating
back two millennia contained a cylinder of sheet-copper 5 inches by 1.5
inches. The edge of the copper cylinder was soldered with a 60-40 lead-tin
alloy comparable to today's best solder. The bottom of the cylinder was capped
with a crimped-in copper disk and sealed with bitumen or asphalt. Another
insulating layer of asphalt sealed the top and also held in place an iron
rod suspended into the center of the copper cylinder. The rod showed evidence
of having been corroded with acid. With a background in mechanics, Dr. Konig
recognized this configuration was not a chance arrangement, but that the
clay pot was nothing less than an ancient electric battery.
The ancient battery in the Baghdad Museum as well as those others which
were unearthed in Iraq all date from the Parthian Persian occupation between
248 B.C. and A.D. 226. However, Konig found copper vases plated with silver
in the Baghdad Museum excavated from Sumerian remains in southern Iraq dating
back to at least 2500 B.C. When the vases were lightly tapped a blue patina
or film separated from the surfaces, characteristic of silver electroplated
to copper. It would appear then that the Persians inherited their batteries
from the earliest known civilization in the Middle East.
2. THE STRANGE ELECTRON TUBES FROM DENDERA
In different locations within the Late Ptolemaic Temple of Hathor at
Dendera in Egypt are curious wall engravings which Egyptologists cannot
explain in traditional religio-mythic terms, but about which electrical engineers
are finding very modern interpretations.
In one chamber, No. 17, the topmost panel, depicts Egyptian priests
operating what look like oblong tubes, performing various specific tasks.
Each tube has a serpent extending its full length inside. Swedish engineer
Henry Kjellson, in his book Forvunen Teknik (Disappeared Technology),
noted that in the hieroglyphs these serpents are translated as seref,
which means to glow, and believes it refers to some form of electrical
current. In the scene, to the extreme right appears a box on top where sits
an image of the Egyptian god Atum-Ra, which identifies the box as the energy
source. Attached to the box is a braided cable which electromagnetics engineer
Alfred D. Bielek identified as virtually an exact copy of engineering illustrations
used today for representing a bundle of conducting
electrical wires. The cable runs from the box the full length of
the floor of the picture, and terminates at both the ends and at the bases
of the tube objects. These objects each rest on a pillar called a djed,
which Bielek identified as a high-voltage insulator.
The tube objects look very much like TV picture tubes, an impression
which is not far from wrong, for electronics technician N. Zecharius has
identified the objects as Crookes or electron tubes, the forerunner of
the modern television tube.
Though the upper chamber scenes have been damaged by vandals from a
later age, other pictures found inside the crypt below the Holy of Holies
are almost perfectly preserved, and their portrayal deepens the mystery
of the strange electron tubes even further. Here, not only are the tubes
shown in full operation, but something else has been added which may suggest
the ultimate purpose for the tubes themselves. In several instances, both
men and women are shown sitting underneath the tubes, hands held out and
cupped, which meant they were in a receptive mode. What kind of radiation
treatment was being performed here?
3. THE ENIGMA OF THE ASHOKA PILLAR
A testimony to ancient metallurgical skills in Delhi, India is called
the Ashoka Pillar. Standing over 23 feet, it averages 16 inches in diameter
and weighs about 6 tons. The solid wrought-iron shaft is made up of expertly
welded discs. An inscription on the base is an epitaph to King Chandra
Gupta II, who died in A.D. 413.
Despite being well over a millennium and a half in age, the Pillar's
constitution is remarkably
preserved. The smooth surface is like polished brass with only occasional
instances of pock-marks and weathering. The mystery is that any equivalent
mass of iron, subjected to the Indian monsoon rains, winds and temperatures
for 1,600 years or more would have been reduced to rust long ago.
Production of the iron and the techniques of preservation are far beyond
5th century abilities. It is probably far older, maybe several thousand
years. Who were the mysterious metallurgists who made this wonder, and what
happened to their civilization?
4. AN OUT-OF-PLACE COMPUTER FROM ANTIKYTHERA
A few days before Easter Sunday in 1900, Greek sponge divers off the
small island of Antikythera discovered the remains of an ancient ship filled
with bronze and marble statues and assorted artifacts later dated between
85 and 50 B.C.
Among the finds was a small formless lump of corroded bronze and rotted
wood. which was sent along with the other artifacts to the National Museum
in Athens for further study. Soon, as the wood fragments dried and shrank
from exposure to air, the lump split open revealing inside the outlines
of a series of gear wheels like a modern clock.
In 1958 Dr. Derek J. de Solla Price successfully reconstructed the
machine's appearance and use. The gearing system calculated the annual movements
of the sun and moon. The arrangement shows that the gears could be moved
forward and backward with ease at any speed. The device was thus not a clock
but more like a calculator that could show the positions of the heavens past,
present and future.
It is highly possible that the device may have origins ages long before
the Greeks, and in a land far removed, now unknown.
5. FLIGHT IN ANCIENT EGYPT
In 1898 a curious winged object was discovered in the tomb of Pa-di-Imen
in north Saqqara, Egypt dated to about 200 B.C. Because the birth of modern
aviation was still several years away, when the strange artifact was sent
to the Cairo Museum, it was catalogued and then shelved among other miscellaneous
items to gather dust.
Seventy years later, Dr. Kahlil Messiha, an Egyptologist and archaeologist,
was examining a Museum display labeled bird figurines. While most of the
display were indeed bird sculptures, the Saqqara artifact was certainly
not. It possessed characteristics never found on birds, yet which are part
of modern aircraft design. Dr. Messiha, a former model plane enthusiast,
immediately recognized the aircraft features and persuaded the Egyptian
Ministry of Culture to investigate.
Made of very light sycamore the craft weighs 0.5 oz. with straight
and aerodynamically shaped wings, spanning about 7 inches. A separate slotted
piece fits onto the tail precisely like the back tail wing on a modern
plane.
A full-scale version could have flown carrying heavy loads, but at
low speeds, between 45 and 65 miles per hour. What is not known, however,
is what the power source was. The model makes a perfect glider as it is.
Even though over 2,000 years old, it will soar a considerable distance with
only a slight jerk of the hand. Fully restored balsa replicas travel even
farther.
Messiha notes that the ancient Egyptians often built scale models of
everything familiar in their daily lives and placed them in their tombs,
temples, ships, chariots, servants, animals and so forth. Now that we have
found a model plane, Messiha wonders if perhaps somewhere under the desert
sands there may yet be unearthed the remains of life-sized gliders.
6. A JET FROM SOUTH AMERICA
In 1954 the government of Colombia sent part of its collection of ancient
gold artifacts on a U. S. tour. Emmanuel Staubs, one of America's leading
jewelers, was commissioned to cast reproductions of six of the objects.
Fifteen years later one was given to biologist-zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson
for analysis. After a thorough examination and consulting a number of experts,
Sanderson's mind-boggling conclusion was that the object is a model of a
high-speed aircraft at least a thousand years old.
Approximately 2 inches long the object was worn as a pendant on a neck
chain. It was classified as Sinu, a pre-Inca culture from A.D. 500 to 800.
Both Sanderson and Dr. Arthur Poyslee of the Aeronautical Institute of New
York concluded it did not represent any known winged animal. In fact, the
little artifact appears more mechanical than biological. For example, the
front wings are delta-shaped and rigidly straight edged, very un-animal-like.
The rudder is perhaps the most un-animal but airplane-like item. It
is right-triangle, flat-surfaced, and rigidly perpendicular to the wings.
Only fish have upright tail fins, but none have exclusively an upright
flange without a counter-balancing lower one. Adding to the mystery, an
insignia appears on the left face of the rudder, precisely where ID marks
appear on many airplanes today. The insignia is perhaps as out-of place
as the gold model itself, for it has been identified as the Aramaic or early
Hebrew letter beth or B. This may indicate that the original plane did not
come from Colombia, but was the product of a very early people inhabiting
the Middle East who knew the secret of flying.
7. CRYSTAL SKULL FROM ATLANTIS
Without doubt the most famous and enigmatic ancient crystal is the
skull, discovered in 1927 by F.A. Mitchell-Hedges atop a ruined temple at
the ancient Mayan city of Lubaantum, in British Honduras, now Belize.
The skull was made from a single block of clear quartz, 5 inches high,
7 inches long and 5 inches wide. It is about the size of a small human cranium,
with near perfect detail. In 1970, art restorer Frank Dorland was given
permission to submit the skull to tests at the Hewlitt-Packard Laboratories.
Revealed were many anomalies.
The skull had been carved with total disregard to the natural crystal
axis, a process unheard-of in modern crystallography. No metal tools were
used. Dorland was unable to find any tell-tale scratch marks. Indeed,
most metals would have been ineffectual. A modern penknife cannot mark
it. From tiny patterns near the carved surfaces, Dorland determined it
was first chiseled into rough form, probably using diamonds. The finer shaping,
grinding and polishing, Dorland believes, was done with innumerable applications
of water and silicon-crystal sand. If true, it would have taken 300 years
of continuous labor. We must accept this almost unimaginable feat, or admit
to the use of some form of lost technology.
Modern science is stumped to explain the skill and knowledge incorporated.
As Garvin summarized:It is virtually impossible today, in the time when
men have climbed mountains on the moon, to duplicate this achievement...It
would not be a question of skill, patience and time. It would simply be
impossible. As one crystallographer from Hewlitt-Packard said, The damned
thing shouldn't be.
8. WHO SHOT NEANDERTHAL MAN?
The Museum of Natural History in London displays an early Paleolithic
skull, dated at 38,000 years old, and excavated in 1921 in modern Zambia.
On the left side of the skull is a perfectly round hole nearly a third
of an inch in diameter. Curiously, there are no radial split-lines around
the hole or other marks that should have been left by a cold weapon, such
as an arrow or spear. Opposite the hole, the cranium is shattered, and reconstruction
of the fragments show the skull was blown from the inside out, as from a
rifle shot. In fact, any slower a projectile would have produced neither
the neat hole nor the shattering effect. Forensic experts who have examined
the skull agree the cranial damage could not have been caused by anything
but a high-speed projectile, purposely fired at the prehistoric victim, with
intent to kill.
If such a weapon was indeed fired at the man, then one of two conclusions
can be made: Either the specimen is not as old as it is claimed to be,
and was shot by a European in recent centuries, or the remains are as old
as claimed, and the marksman was ancient too. In view of the fact that the
Paleolithic skull was excavated from a depth of 60 feet, mostly of lead
rock, the second conclusion is more plausible. But who possessed gunpowder
38,000 years ago? Certainly not Stone Age man himself. Another race must
have existed, one far more advanced and civilized, yet contemporary. The
question is, where did that rifle-toting marksman call home?
9. THE INCREDIBLE STONE OF DR. CABRERA
A very unique time-capsule of images is housed in a warehouse in Ica,
Peru. Here are some 20,000 stone boulders, tablets, and baseball-sized rocks,
decorated with an astounding assortment of pictures, in many cases very
much out of time and place. The owner is local physician, amateur archeologist
and geologist Dr. Javier Cabrera Darquea.
Most material employed is a gray andesite, an extremely hard granitic
semi-crystalline matrix, that is very difficult to carve. But as Dr. Cabrera
observed, People have been finding these engraved stones in the region
for years. They were first seen and recorded by Jesuit missionary Father
Simon, who accompanied Pizarro in 1525. Samples were shipped to Spain in
1562.
The stone portraits show very sophisticated surgery skills and medical
knowledge, in some cases as advanced, and even more advanced, than today.
There are scenes of Caesarean sections, blood transfusions, the use of
acupuncture needles as an anesthetic (which only gained use in the West
since the late 1970s), delicate operations on the lungs and kidneys, and
removal of cancerous tumors. There are likewise detailed images of open
heart and open brain surgery, as well as 20 stones showing a step-by-step
heart transplant procedure.
This is a disturbing revelation in itself, that someone in unknown
antiquity achieved a level of
sophistication rivaling our own. But there are other pictures even
more out-of-place. As Dr. Cabrera noted, and as has been verified by other
medical physicians, there are stone etchings which show a brain transplant.
The prehistoric surgeons, it is evident, possessed knowledge several steps
beyond modern-day surgery.
10. MANUFACTURED METALS MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD
For the past three decades miners at the Wonderstone Silver Mine near
Ottosdal in the Western Transvaal, South Africa, have been extracting out
of deep rock several strange metallic spheroids. So far at least 200 have
been found. In 1979, several were closely examined by J.R. McIver, professor
of geology at the University of Witwaterstand in Johannesburg, and geologist
professor Andries Bisschoff of Potsshefstroom University.
The metallic spheroids look like flattened globes, averaging 1 to 4
inches in diameter, and their exteriors usually are colored steel blue with
a reddish reflection, and embedded in the metal are tiny flecks of white
fibers. They are made of a nickel-steel alloy which does not occur naturally,
and is of a composition that rules them out, being of meteoric origin. Some
have only a thin shell about a quarter of an inch thick, and when broken
open are found filled with a strange spongy material that disintegrated into
dust on contact with the air.
What makes all this very remarkable is that the spheroids were mined
out of a layer of pyrophyllite rock, dated both geologically and by the
various radio-isotope dating techniques as being at least 2.8 to 3 billion
years old.
Adding mystery to mystery, Roelf Marx, curator of the South African
Klerksdorp Museum, has discovered that the spheroid he has on exhibit
slowly rotates on its axis by its own power, while locked in its display
case and free of outside vibrations. There may thus be an energy extant
within these spheroids still operating after three eons of time.

Sci/Tech Biological computer born
Living computer: interconnected leech neurons can add up
A computer made of neurons taken from leeches has been created by
US scientists.
At the moment, the device can perform simple sums - the team calls
the novel calculator the “leech-ulator”.
But their aim is to devise a new generation of fast and flexible
computers that can work out for themselves how to solve a problem, rather
than having to be told exactly what to do. Professor Bill Ditto, at the
Georgia Institute of Technology, is leading the project and says he is
amazed that today’s computers are still so dumb.
“Ordinary computers need absolutely correct information every time
to come to the right answer,” he says. “We hope a biological computer will
come to the correct answer based on partial information, by filling in the
gaps itself.”
Well connected
The device the team has built can “think for itself” because the leech
neurons are able to form their own connections from one to another. Normal
silicon computers only make the connections they are told to by the programmer.
This flexibility means the biological computer works out it own way of solving
the problem. “With the neurons, we only have to direct them towards the
answer and they get it themselves,” says Professor Ditto.
This approach to computing is particularly suited to pattern recognition
tasks like reading handwriting, which would take enormous amounts of power
to do well on a conventional computer.
The neurons are harnessed in a petri dish by inserting micro-electrodes
into them. Each neuron has its own electrical activity and responds
in its own way to an electrical stimulus. These features can be used to
make each neuron represent a number. Calculations are then performed
by linking up the individual neurons. Leech neurons are used because they
have been extensively studied and are well understood. Though much simpler,
the neuron computer works in a similar way to the human brain. Professor
Ditto says a robot brain is his long-term aim, noting that conventional supercomputers
are far too big for a robot to carry around.
“We want to be able to integrate robotics, electronics and these type
of computers so that we can create more sentient robots,” he says. However,
in the immediate future, the team from Georgia Tech and Emory University
are working on enabling their computer to do multiplication. The biological
computer is featured on BBC One’s Tomorrow’s World at 1930 BST on Wednesday
2 June 1999.
It won't be long before it will be against the law to have a genetically
defective child.
Having disabled babies will be 'sin', says scientist
London Times 7-4-99
by Lois Rogers
Medical Correspondent
THE scientist who created Britain's first test-tube baby has said it
will soon be a "sin" for parents to give birth to disabled children.
Bob Edwards, the world-renowned embryologist who worked with the late
Patrick Steptoe to produce Louise Brown by in-vitro fertilisation in 1978,
said the increasing availability of pre-natal screening for genetic disease
gave parents a moral responsibility not to give birth to disabled children.
Edwards, speaking at an international fertility conference, said that
he welcomed the dawn of an age in which every child would be wanted and
genetically acceptable.
"Soon it will be a sin of parents to have a child that carries the
heavy burden of genetic disease. We are entering a world where we have to
consider the quality of our children."
He believes people should not recoil from the inevitability of fertility
treatment and screening becoming a tool of social engineering. He said
treatment would be sought not just by the infertile but by couples who wished
to have children free of genetic illness. New diagnostic techniques already
enable the screening of embryos before they are put into their host mother.
The process is used on all embryos in some American clinics to screen
out specific genetic defects. As more genes are identified, it will be
possible to perform more sophisticated
tests on embryos.
Edwards was speaking at the annual meeting of the European Society
of Human Reproduction and Embryology in France, as doctors in Britain finalise
proposals for the first comprehensive national screening programme for
Down's syndrome in all unborn babies. Their report is to be presented to
ministers in the next few weeks and it is expected the programme will begin
next year.
Campaigners for families of handicapped children and some doctors believe
Edwards's comments reflect the views of most British doctors, and that women
will be increasingly
pressed into agreeing to the termination of affected pregnancies.
One obstetrician, who declined to be identified, said: "There is a fear
that we are moving towards eugenics. It is extremely common for women to
be offered terminations for
abnormality, but counselling about it is pretty hit and miss."
More than three-quarters of pregnant women are already offered screening
and given the choice to abort a baby carrying Down's syndrome or spina
bifida. Some hospitals
even offer to abort foetuses with defects that can be corrected,
such as cleft palate.
The NHS is also considering a national screening programme for cystic
fibrosis, with pregnant women offered a mouthwash for genetic diagnosis
of cells from the inside of the cheek to find whether they are carriers
of the CF gene. Other conditions such as fragile X syndrome, which causes
mental retardation in one in 4,000 boys, could also be screened for.
While few non-clinicians doubt the value of offering couples information
about the possibility of catastrophic handicap in their unborn child,
many people fear that information and counselling about the interpretation
of the screening tests and the effects of the diseases are very limited.
"We get several calls a day from distraught pregnant women," said Carol
Boys, director of the Down's Syndrome Association. "Although we fully support
people whether they want to terminate a pregnancy or not, there is an impression
that doctors are very negative about these sorts of conditions."
Anya Souza, 37, an artist who was born with Down's syndrome, tours
the country educating people about the disabilities involved.
She enjoys an independent life in a London flat she shares with her
boyfriend. "I don't think my life is worth any less than the lives of
other people," she said. "I think getting rid of a baby because it has
Down's is wrong. It's something you just don't do to children."
This is an interesting article. NASA and Congress have pretty
much scraped any idea of funding to search for earth bound Meteor's and/or
to develop any program to prevent them from hitting the earth. NASA
is fully aware that this firing will change the course of this "unnamed"
comet, let's all hope it's not a comet that comes too close to earth, like
Comet Lee. (Larry)
NASA TO BLAST COMET
July 11, 1999
The Nando Times reported: “A spacecraft named Deep Impact will fire
a 1,100-pound copper bullet at the nucleus of a comet, blasting out a crater
the size of a football field and as deep as a seven-story building. The
radical $240 million mission, approved Wednesday by NASA administrators,
may sound more like fiction than science, but its primary purpose will be
to study the makeup of comets. It’s a coincidence that the project has the
same name as last summer’s disaster movie “Deep Impact,” which was about a
comet smacking Earth, mission planners said Thursday...”
Don't let this fool you folks. There is plenty of documented proof
online that shows how the Netherlands is forcing EUTHANASIA on it's citizens.
The elderly are quite scared and carry cards that read "do not euthanasia
me". For more information on this, click on the "other crap" button

LEGALIZED EUTHANASIA RECOMMENDED BY DUTCH
July 14, 1999
Associated Press reported: "The Dutch government
has recommended decriminalizing mercy killing altogether, a move that
could take its world-renowned liberal euthanasia policy out of a legal
gray area. ‘It was agreed that to decriminalize euthanasia is the logical
step of the policy we have had so far,’ Justice Ministry spokesman Wijnand
Stevens said Monday. Although thousands of terminally ill patients ask for
and receive euthanasia each year in the Netherlands, the practice remains
officially outlawed. Bowing to pressure from doctors and euthanasia advocates,
the government now plans to formally decriminalize euthanasia and assisted
suicide on the condition it is carried out according to strict guidelines.
A proposed law change would formalize a situation that has existed since
1993, when the Dutch parliament voted to tolerate euthanasia on condition
it was governed by tight guidelines."
